I am using HP ab522tx laptop. Windows 10 auto downloaded some updates like 10-15 days back. It always used to give me a reminder to install the same but I used to just put the laptop on sleep mode after using it. Today suddenly it hung on me for the first time.
I long pressed the power key to turn it off and then switched it on. The option to install the updates was there when it turned on. I selected install and restart and then it restarted without even showing that they same were installed. Anyways the updates to be installed notification was gone from the start button after it restarted. Now the version of the Windows which is installed is Version 21H1 (OS Build 19043.1023)
I don't know which was the build which was previously installed so I can't say whether this update was correctly installed or not.
Now everything works fine but to every Wi-Fi that I connect to, shows the no internet error:
Did some basic troubleshooting and it lead me to this error: Wi-Fi doesn't have a valid IP configuration
Googled, found many articles and websites. Followed steps mentioned on this one https://windowsreport.com/wi-fi-valid-ip-configuration-windows-10/
- Uninstalled driver, restarted and it was auto installed again. Same issue
- Reset TCP/IP. Done. Same issue. It shows this
- Change the wireless SSID and password
Not done but tried connecting the laptop to other Wi-Fi connections. Same result.
- Set the channel width to Auto
Done. Same result.
- Set your IP address manually
Didn't do. As I don't know what values to fill in.
- Remove your antivirus software
Using Windows Defender only. It is not messing up with the Wi-Fi. Disabled just to check but same result.
7-10. Didn't follow those points as I somehow feel that the issue is not with those.
` Edit-
Please check all photos, I think the problem is somewhere in them. I am just not able to find it.
Connected a wifi adapter to the laptop https://www.amazon.in/TP-Link-TL-WN725N-150Mbps-Wireless-Adapter/dp/B008IFXQFU/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=tp+link+wifi+adapter&qid=1626514066&sr=8-2 but same result

Adapter list minus the wifi adapter which was connected, the connected adapter was auto renamed to wi-fi 2

Step 1
netsh winsock reset works fine
netsh int ip reset gives that error as shown in the first post but it gives that error in this video also though mine is more with a little more settings or something.
I restarted but it didn't work. So, tried the next commands
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /flushds
ipconfig /renew
And I get this error No operation can be performed on ethernet etc. while it has its media disconnected (What is this and how to resolve this?)

netsh winsock reset
netsh winsock reset catalog
netsh int ip stop
netsh int ip start
The last two commands are not found by the system

Windows 10 "ipconfig /renew" not working this link says to use ipconfig /release before doing an ipconfig /renew. Did that and same results
