Fix `ipconfig /release` and `ipconfig /renew` for network issues

Use ipconfig commands to reset dynamic TCP/IP settings and restore internet access.

If your PC is connected but has no internet, release and renew the IP address.

  1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator.
  2. Type: ipconfig /release and press Enter.
  3. Wait until the IP is cleared.
  4. Type: ipconfig /renew and press Enter.
  5. Confirm there is a new IPv4 address under the active adapter.

If the command fails, check cable, Wi-Fi connection and router status.

Tip: ipconfig /flushdns can help after renew if DNS errors persist.
