No internet access on my wifi

[RIccardo]

My internet stopped working for all the softwares but Google Chrome. I searched some solutions online but I ended up making the situation worse and now I can't even connect to the wifi.
Basically I put the password and it connects, but the wifi icon has the yellow exclamation mark and it says "Unidentified network, no internet access".
I noticed that also the Cortana search bar doesnt work anymore, and I feel like the start button is working a bit slower..

if it helps, this is what I get if I type ipconfig /all on CMD:

I already tried uninstalling the network adapters from the Device Manager..

Does anyone know what should I do?

Thank you!

you are not receiving network information from your router. The 169.254 shows that as does no default gateway.

Did you reinstall the network adapters? Does the wifi adapter show enabled or disabled, see this via Network and Sharing and click on Change adapter settings.

I would reboot the router and reboot the PC in that order and then check the above and ipconfig and tell us the state of things.

your wifi connection does not have a valid IP address and the gateway is not valid (you do not have one). Looks like it can not connect to the router properly.
If you connect to a router your setting should look like this (your settings may vary):
IP address : 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Gateway : 192.168.1.1

are your WiFi drivers up-to-date?
Do you have other wifi enabled devices that can not connect (like smart phone, tablet etc.)?
A router reset may help as well...

I personally have DHCP always turned off as my PC's on the network all have static IP's.

Whether some device will work with Win 10 is sometimes hard to determine. The table linked below seems to indicate your adapter is not supported, by Intel at least, and I have seen several wireless-N adapters which have problems with Win 10. Hopefully, the device will function is some manner.

Since you seem to be locking on to a Microsoft default IP address there are a couple of things to try and some have already been suggested.

Use the ncpa.cpl connections panel to disable and then enable the adapter. Maybe it will find the correct network.

You could try manually entering a usable IP address to see if it would see the correct network and if it does, switch back to DHCP.

The network needs to be set as a private network and in many cases it comes up as public, so check that.

I would de install the driver and install the Windows 8.1 driver. If that doesn't work....time for a cheap USB wireless device.

 

[Trouble]

Agreed....
I'd use Internet Explorer and go here http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1000
Download the 99.6 MB package and install it

for all the use of the word 'later' it is probably the 8.1 driver from the date...and may well work fine.
