If that doesn't work, try booting into Safe Mode. If you have internet access in Safe Mode, try downloading again. I'm thinking that a virus might be corrupting your download.

So you have a wireless router ?

Hello,

It's normal to get those error message if the item has already been deleted or not there, and can't be found to be deleted by the BAT file.

Now THAT is a problem. If you went to Safe Mode with Networking, you should have internet.
This may be the whole cause of your problems.
Unfortunately, I don't use a router at all... so I can't really help with that.


You might want to try an In-Place Upgrade (post #20 this topic).
It's all done from within Windows. I've had it fix seemingly unfix-able problems before.

If you can't get the internet working in Safe Mode with Networking... that needs to be fixed... first.
I've never even seen that happen before.


Brb, I'm getting on Windows 11.


Well, I'm on Win 11, in Safe Mode with Networking, and the internet works. Brb in normal mode.

This is how my msconfig is set up...





This is my Ethernet properties... (I have no One Drive, no syncing, no sharing, etc)
Only IPv4 and IPv6 are checked.




And Device Manager (with View > Show Hidden Devices... checkmarked), ASUS x570 motherboard...
and I have no idea what "Microsoft Kernel Debug Network Adapter" is...
Yes... my motherboard has two Ethernet ports. Intel (in use), and Realtek.
Verizon (no router)





I don't know if any of this is helpful or not. I really don't know much about networking.
I just hook it up and it works.


Brb... I'm getting back on Windows 10.


Ahhhh...

run ipconfig in command prompt, do you have a IPv4 address ?

While at the Start screen and before you start the computer in Safe Mode, click on the network connection icon and see if your network adapter is listed.

If you see your connection in this screen, you should be able to connect to the internet in Safe Mode. this is the selection I have when doing a regular boot. I don't get this in Safe Mode because I only have a Wi-Fi connection and Wi-Fi doesn't work for me in Safe Mode.

i dont get that screen in safe mode though, only in normal boot and im hardwired which doesnt make sense as to why i dont get internet connectivity

Unplug the ethernet cable and keep only the wifi on or the other way around. Windows lacks load-balancing multiple isp.
Check if these services are NOT disabled:
Winmgmt
BITS
DoSvc
MpsSvc
cryptsvc

by looking at regedit Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
all should have the key "Start" set to "2"

the cmd "sc" and even the powershell "Set-Service" sometimes do not change the service attribute, so the script you just ran may have not changed anything
