No internet blues
The long-awaited major Windows 11 update (version 24H2) was supposed to bring shiny new features and security updates, but it also seems to be bringing headaches for a lot of people as well – and some users are complaining that their internet connections aren’t working after installing the update.
That’s right: in addition to issues like the dreaded blue screen of death crashes, a glitch making mouse cursors vanish, and worse, filling up your hard drive with files you can’t even delete, 24H2 might now impact your internet connection if you install the update. Windows Report, which broke the news, refers to a Microsoft Community forum post where a user describes encountering this problem on multiple devices.
Even if they could connect, some devices were still unable to access the internet, whether they were connected by Wi-Fi or by cable. Adding to the confusion, the user claims to have seen strange IP address numbers, starting with ‘169…’ which are unusual, as they usually start with ‘192’ and indicated that there was no network connection.
