Hi,

Every time I turn my laptop on I get this error message, to fix it I have to ipconfig /release and /renew in CMD. Is there a way to actually fix this problem?

Your Firewall could be causing the issue disable it to see problem resolves.

Reset TCP/IP protocol to its default state.

In Windows 10 simply hold down the + X keys and select the option “Command Prompt (Admin)” from the menu.

Execute below command one at time and restart your computer.

netsh winsock reset

netsh int ip reset

Have you set the ip address to be obtained automatically.

Obtaining an IP address automatically on a computer with Windows 8, 8.1 or 10 operating system

Open the Services Manager console by typing services into Start Menu search box and make sure startup type of the WLAN AutoConfig and DHCP Client set to Automatic and start both services.

If non of above suggestion worked then install latest version of network card driver.
