Build 22624.1465 breaks networking

Windows update installed 22624.1465 on 3/16. I hadn't rebooted since the update but when I did, I could not connect to the internet. During my troubleshooting, I noticed that although I had connected to my WiFi, I hadn't received an IP address from my router. Further troubleshooting rewarded me with the message, "Windows couldn't automatically bind the ip protocol stack to the network adapter". I tried several things including resetting winsock and trying to reset the wifi adapter, but nothing worked. I tried to roll-back the update but I was unable to. I was successful in performing a system restore point to 3/16 pre update. Once restored, networking was restored. I am running an older Lenovo laptop (Y700-15ISK) with an i7-6700HQ (not a supported PC, I know), and an Intel AC 6280 running driver version 22.200.0.

Now that networking is back up and running, I am going to create another restore point and re-update Windows to see if I can re-create the issue.

Welcome to the forum. Glad your network is back up and running. A word of advise. System restore works....until it doesn't. It is not a reliable way to recover a system. In order to protect yourself, in case of catastrophe, I suggest you develop some sort of backup plan using one of the free imaging applications that are available.

Hey thanks for the reply and the advice. I have Acronis, it's not up to date but I can fix that.

Thanks again,

Welcome to Eleven Forum.

I am also running my 22624.1465 on an unsupported Lenovo, a Yoga 11e with a Celeron N2930 and an Intel N 7260 wi-fi adapter. Mine still had networking after the update, so this is not a general issue. This error may also happen after running the Network Troubleshooter on any build of Windows 10/11. Should it happen to you again it is usually a simple fix.
