    Update KB5010342 - done here 12/2/22
    « on: February 13, 2022, 03:19:12 AM »
    Update KB5010342 ran yesterday evening, and today there is no network connection on that laptop (1).  The one I'm typing on (2) works.

    Tried various things so far but cannot re-establish a network connection over wireless (it usually connects via wireless)

    Adjacent working laptop 2 was updated to this 10/2/22 but is ethernet connected.

    So, have connected an Ethernet cable, and after thinking about it for over a minute, its connected to that and Network/Internet is working.

    Wireless networking IS working, checked on oldest third laptop (3, which has KB5010342 done)

    Obviously reluctant to risk losing the connection I have on laptop 1 (which happens to be the newest), so:-

    1. Has anybody else experienced this loss of wireless networking with KB5010342?
    2. Any ideas on a little or no-risk to do "cure" please?   ;)

    Not so much with the KB5010342 update but other windows updates have required driver updates for devices which stop working.
    If you have a main stream brand laptop then use their tool to get the latest driver .
