Computer(Windows 10) suddenly disconnected from the internet
Multi tool use
UPDATE: booting into safe mode network fixes it. But when I go back to regular mode its broken again.
While I was browsing reddit. My browser(Chrome), suddenly said that I have no internet connection.
My steam disconnected, can't ping Google. My network icon has that yellow triangle thing on my taskbar
I checked my phone, It had internet, my brother was currently watching Netflix on TV in the living room, the house has internet.
So I logged into my router, pc can connect to router settings via web browser. I am connected via Ethernet cable. I tried to use the troubleshoot tool in windows network and internet settings.
It said the DNS server isn't responding.
I tried to ipconfig release, renew, flushdns, winsock reset then restart pc
Still can't connect.
Tried setting preferred dns from auto to 8.8.8.8 did not work
Any tips?

Since you stated that your network works fine in SafeMode, this indicates there is some software/driver that is causing the issue.
- Additional testing could be useful
- Ping 8.8.8.8, see if your computer is able to connect to the internet but is lacking DNS services
- Run a "NSLookup google.com", see if that resolves and what kind of information you get back.
- If you have recently installed any new software:
- Uninstalling the new software
- Reboot
- Test again
- If that doesn't work, it may have been an update, or some other system change
- See if you have any recent system restore points
- Restore back to a restore point and test again

I got it working again, I tried turning off some auto start services, I compared the running services when it was on safe mode vs unsafe mode. I tried turning off non-essential things one by one until it started working again. Ultimately it was a network monitoring tool that came with my motherboard's driver installation disc.
Which is weird because that thing never updated, and I've been using it with no problems for several months. I didn't do any windows/(any)software update for the past week (I casually use my computer everyday). The internet connection just stopped working all of a sudden in the middle of casual browsing. I don't have any auto-updates enabled of any kind (I think).
Regardless. Thanks for all the people giving tips for troubleshooting. Maybe sometime in the future I can use these troubleshooting tips to fix issues I might have or share these with my friends.
