Microsoft is currently investigating an issue with network connectivity following a recent update to their Windows10 Operating system. After installing the update some customers with devices using Windows 10 are experiencing a loss of internet connection, this is due to the fact that the update is affecting the network connection between your broadband router and your PC or Laptop. This issue is affecting Microsoft customers from around the world and isn't specific to TalkTalk.

If you're having difficulty accessing the internet, you can easily check if this issue is affecting you, by trying to access the internet using a non windows device such as an iPad, iPhone or android mobile phone or tablet. Make sure that your device is connected to your broadband router using wireless with your mobile data turned off.

If these other devices are able to connect to the internet then you should contact Microsoft for further support as we’ll be unable to help you further. We’d suggest you follow Microsoft’s advice to restart your PC or Laptop, you can find out more about this on the Microsoft Support Site or by following the below steps:
