I'm getting a message when trying to update,that my network is not connected and an error has happened? Anyone else had this recently?
Is it another Windows 'cock-up' ?
Any advice on how to remedy?

Do you mean that after an update that your network is not being recognised or that an update has failed due to a network failure during update?
If the update was completed( you can check that in settings) then just select your network anew, or if the update failed re run it. Again in settings, updates and security, then check in update history or check for updates after ensuring that the network is recognised. If it will not recognise the network you may have to "go back to previous version" in settings , update and security, "recovery".
It's a known problem, I had it as well -

I followed the instructions in that link - "Switching to Google's public 8.8.8.8 DNS service" & Update then worked.
Hmm interesting LiK. No issues here on 3 very different systems. Desk top, 8 year old lappie, or Surface Pro. Looks like mainly Japan and the US. Another site here with info. Keep my eye on that methinks.

I tried what LK suggested,going through Google and it didn't work so I resorted to going via Torn and it worked. Hopefully Microsoft will have sorted it before their next big update ?

Error in my last note! I'm using Nord not Torn,-this is one hell of a confused old sod;too much time in Scotland with single malts! That's my excuse anyway,cheers
Ah well, glad you're sorted, Grandpappy :-)
Haha a single Malt
Don't know what happened there that should have read …..

Haha a single Malt, it's the 4th and 5th that tend to confuse me. :))
I`m on the Insider program so I get a few more updates than most but I cant sayI`ve experienced any issues except maybe one or two take their time downloading even on a fast connection and lively machine.
