Windows 10 Update - DHCP Issues - PSA

Networking
1

There appears to be many people running into DHCP failure or some kind of quirk in the TCP/IP stack after a recent Windows 10 update. Rebooting hasn't worked for many users. If you run into this, specifically rewnewing your your IP with ipconfig /renew seems to fix it. (I work closely with an ISP and they've been inundated with calls to this effect however I didn't see anything posted officially on any major news sites.)

Thanks for the heads up, I'll advise our staff that would be affected by this.
