My upgrade to the new Windows version may have gone smoothly. Still, after booting to the Desktop, I noticed no Network icon in the Notification Area of the Taskbar. I could not connect to the Internet—whether it was my cable broadband connection or the WiFi.
No internet access after Windows Upgrade
I opened Windows Settings > Network & Internet, and clicked on the Status link. Here the Network status was showing a No internet access message.

This worked for me.

2] Use Registry Editor
If the Network icon says No internet access, but you are connected, do the following:
Open the Registry Editor and navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NlaSvc\Parameters\Internet
On the right side, locate and right-click EnableActiveProbing.
Select Modify and change its Value data from 0 to 1.
Click OK and exit.
Restart your computer and see.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but if you have no Internet access, how will Windows find an updated driver (unless it’s already located on the PC somewhere)?
Woah – you caught me there. [I had drafted the post late at night] :D Need to edit the post. Thanks.
That is very interesting Web Hosting blog.

I had this happen where wi-fi would sign in but have no internet access. I found Windows Firewall blocking all internet access. I use AVG firewall and had Windows Firewall disabled before the update, but the update turned it on. After disabling it again & letting AVG have control all was OK again.
Ah man. I have tried everything here. Even reset the PC to factory. The build is still present, but the wifi card is not being detected to even install/uninstall on the device manager. It is just straight gone, like someone doing a back alley organ snatch and grab. Any other thoughts on how to fix this? I cant revert back to an earlier build either.
It didn’t work for me. I downloaded the lan driver in another computer and installed it again after the creator update installation.
My USB modem started showing error 633
Has anyone fund a solution for the wifi problem?
After reverting back to Win 10 1607 I found the wifi still would not work.
After all the driver update suggestions I found & Tried on the internet
I assumed the wifi card had failed and replaced it – Still no fix
I then re-downloaded the Windows 10 Creators Update.
It still did not work!!
I then just tried the following and it all started to work
(I noticed that one of the Wi-Fi services switches had been turned off!!!)
Try
Windows key + X
Select “Network Connections”
Select Wi-Fi
Scroll to Wi-Fi Services
Ensure that Both Hot Spot connection switches are ON
Then completely reboot (Not restart) your system
If this works you may need to re-enter you Security Key for the Router you select
It worked !!!!!
So good luck
See message above (Probably at the top)
thanks it helped me !!
