Update: I fixed it! I tinkered with many things related to my network adapter, but I think it was re-enabling my DNS client service (which was greyed out and required some RegEdit shenanigans to bring it to heel) that finally unclogged the network u-bend. I was only trying to do that because I couldn't switch network discovery on, which I thought might be relevant.

You Sir are my hero :)

Same here, DNS client was disabled. In the system control - services I could unfortunately not simply restart it (option was disabled). But with CMD (started as administrator) and

REG add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Dnscache" /v Start /t REG_DWORD /d 2 /f

followed by a PC restart it worked again.

However, the DNS client had been deactivated for months and I played daily before the patch....

Looks like this bug has been confirmed on the issue tracker. Vote the pyramid:

I confirm that regediting DNS Client service (in registry DNS Cache) back to work solved my problem too.

Just regedit "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Dnscache\Start" value back to 2 and restart your PC.

Last night's bleary-eyed problem solving is a bit of haze, but I'll recount my workings as best I can in case it helps anyone else:

For reasons I can't quite remember, I decided I needed to 'turn on network discovery' in Win10's Network and Sharing Centre (it made sense given that ED was effectively claiming it couldn't discover the network).

The problem was that although I could select the appropriate radio button and 'save changes', it wouldn't take. Going back to the same page would show it had reverted to the off option.

Some meandering internet searching led me to understand that for network discovery to work, the following services all needed to be enabled in Windows services.msc :
  • UPnP Device Host
  • DNS Client
  • Function Discovery Resource Publication
  • SSDP Discovery
In my case, they were all running except for DNS Client services, which I could not enable as it was greyed out.

More research led to the RegEdit solution CmdrWolffi explained which let me toggle DNS Client services (I vaguely recall this not being quite that straightforward - there may have been a reboot involved and some attempts to see if the automatic setting would work).

Once DNS Client services were restored, my attempts to enable network discovery worked and ED exploded into life just as I ran out of steam.

I hope this helps some folk.

Nice to hear. I just switched to a router (from a Huawei 4G mobile stick), and that solved my problems. It seems VPN can cause this, disabled DNS client and what else.
My countless tweaks (some offered by FDEV tech support) in my OS had no effect. They surely did some strange things in that update for sure.

here what I found and I had in my one it was 4

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\dnscache

Once you reach there, shift to the adjacent right side. Double click on the Start DWORD to modify its value.
In the Value data box, put preferred value followed by clicking OK button.
Automatic – 2

Manual – 3

Disabled – 4

Automatic (Delayed Start) – 2
