"WiFi" doesn't have a valid IP configuration
My Windows 10 laptop sometimes loses its Wi-Fi connection. The Network Troubleshooter fails with the message:
"WiFi" doesn't have a valid IP configuration
Here is one procedure to fix it:
- Open a Command Prompt as Administrator
- netsh int tcp set heuristics disabled
- netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
- netsh int tcp set global rss=enabled
- Reboot the laptop
Last time it happened I think this procedure also worked:
- Open a Command Prompt as Administrator
- netsh winsock reset
- netsh int ip reset
- Reboot the laptop
I'm leaving this here mostly for my own information the next time it happens. It can be hard to find this information online. Perhaps it will help somebody else who is googling for a solution.
I've experienced something similar on my laptop. When my internet freezes I click on the connection settings, and then the computer remembers to stay connected to the internet, but only for a short time. It'll keep doing that over and over again, so I restart the computer, which seems to fix the problem. But then a few weeks later it happens again, so I'll have to restart again.

I think we've all been in that situation. You're too good for this world, stabguy.

that's really good of you.
i absolutely hate it when i have a problem, and then the only thing i find is a 10 year old topic asking the exact same thing, but then just ends with "nevermind, i fixed it"
Last time it happened I think this procedure also worked:
- Open a Command Prompt as Administrator
- netsh winsock reset
- netsh int ip reset
- Reboot the laptop
Confirmed: This procedure also fixes the problem. It's a little bit simpler than the first procedure.
