Last night I woke my PC from sleep mode and it immediately had the blue screen and had to restart.
Upon restarting, there was no internet connection. The network icon in the system tray was gone, and the network settings said "The dependency service or group failed to start."
After following the steps here:
community.appuals.com
that said to use the command prompt to reload the network services, the internet worked again.
But when I tried to use Proton VPN after this, it won't connect anymore.
I'm not sure it's related, but it seems likely. The internet itself is working like normal, but the VPN isn't.
Any ideas what happened here?
Thanks!
