After that I was unable to get my Wireless card to connect to the hotel WiFi.  I got more suspicious when the WiFi didn't work at my client's either.  I fiddled for ages finding and installing older/newer/different wireless card drivers.  None of them made any difference. Later I discovered that I could not get onto another client's VPN.  I couldn't be sure it was caused by the same updates, but it seemed a big coincidence. I found some advice to try Resetting networking.  It's in recent (at the time of writing - July 2017) builds on Windows 10.  Settings -> Network and Internet -> Status and at the bottom click Network Reset.  It requires a reboot. This helped significantly.  Now at least the major functions of the WiFi worked.  I could send email and browse web sites.  The VPN was still broken. I tried removing/replacing the VPN connection.  Didn't help. Eventually I found some evidence in the Event Viewer of a 720 error on trying to connect to the VPN.  I then found some advice (here https://support.purevpn.com/error-code-720) I'm not using their specific product but I tried the advice to remove all the Wan Miniports.  Find them in Device Manager.  A scan for hardware changes reinstated them and that was the key.  VPN working again. Shout out to purevpn for putting useful support information online. RichardHowells Sat, 08 Jul 2017 18:46:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:98
