I don't have InstantGo on my desktop as far as I know. powercfg /a does not show the Standby (Connected) option. All it shows is:

The following sleep states are available on this system:
Standby (S3)

whereas my lappy shows all of:

The following sleep states are available on this system:
Standby (S3)
Hibernate
Hybrid Sleep
Fast Startup

My desktop has no hiberfil.sys file.

I conclude that my desktop was built w/out Hibernate & therefore w/out Fast Startup.

OK, can get my Win 10 Home desktop to same sleep states as my Win 10 Home lappy by issuing powercfg /h on under an admin command shell. Have since reversed it to put it back to as built.

Can we conclude that there were so few reports of this internet access issue cuz it occurs only after your PC wakes up from hibernation & it has "fast start" enabled? This would exclude many desktops if they were originally built as mine.

Possibly. The comment from MS about doing a Restart to get overt the problem suggests that might be true. As I understand it a Restart does a full reload including reloading the Kernel, and I'd guess, reacquires the various network parameters.

No.

Well this forum has done it again, thank you.

I had no issues with internet access but I had noticed that my Win 10 was taking longer and longer to start up. After finding out how to switch on fast start, (there was an advanced options link on the screen not mentioned above, that needed clicking) it seems to be starting up much faster.

I never cease to be amazed at how clever people are at finding all these obscure (to me at any rate) options

Now I must trail though all the start up programs again, to find out who rel culprits are and whether or not I really need them.

I'm also facing the same issues about the internet.Anyone know how can I fix this issue?
