At the bottom you will see Troubleshoot problems. In the Command Prompt copy and paste the command below, then press Enter. Thanks, Richard Richard-F All, I have fixed the problem. Windows does a pretty good job of determining if there is a problem in Windows that is preventing the computer from accessing the Internet and then fixing it, however, not all Internet problems are related to the computer.
