I installed KB5043076 and noticed a complete loss of network connectivity. My ethernet adapter checks out fine, and while I have connected to Wi-Fi (which I typically don’t use), I still have no functioning network connectivity.

I even tried to roll back the update via Windows Update → Update history → Uninstall updates, but I am still met with “No internet access” on both the ethernet and Wi-Fi interfaces.

Has anyone else experienced similar behavior?
