Windows 11’s 2024 update is now also killing internet connections

Users are experiencing various issues with the Windows 11 24H2 update, including blue screen crashes, disappearing mouse cursors, and a cache of undeletable files. The 2024 update is causing internet connectivity problems, with affected users reporting that their devices connect to the network but do not have internet access, often receiving an IP address starting with 169. Despite updating drivers and resetting network settings, many users have found these solutions ineffective. Some users initially had internet access after the first restart post-update but lost connectivity after subsequent restarts. The recommended solution for those affected is to roll back to the previous version, Windows 11 23H2, which has resolved issues for some users, although it is not guaranteed to work for everyone.
