About this tag
The 'no connection' tag on WindowsForum.com covers issues where Windows reports 'No connections are available' or similar network connectivity failures. Common scenarios include wired Ethernet and wireless adapters not detecting any networks, APIPA addresses (169.254.x.x), missing network adapters after updates, and persistent 'Identifying... No Internet Access' states. Users report problems after Windows upgrades (e.g., Fall Creators Update, Windows 7 upgrade), driver issues, or hardware changes. Troubleshooting steps discussed include checking physical connections, reinstalling drivers, verifying wireless switches, and using network diagnostics. The tag spans Windows 7, 10, and related versions, focusing on practical fixes for lost connectivity.
