So for unknown reasons my PC decided one day, on boot up, to connect to my internet without internet access, I did the normal troubleshooting, looked up a tonne of threads and no luck.

I have tried 3 adapters on my PC, all have the same issue, they all connect without internet access, I reinstalled drivers for each, reinstalled windows, all the adapters work on the same network and others on any other device, all adapters work on my computer on all networks including using a phone as a network, it's only my computer and only a single network which is having the issue, I intend to try to use an ethernet cable to see if that will solve the issue however it's not a long term fix.

Any Ideas?

Did you intentionally disable IPv4?

All I see is IPv6 information, which indicates IPv4 is off and may be needed for your connection depending on your ISP.

There are many Windows 10 IPv4 issue threads, but HERE is one that I have used with success.

Which OS version are you running, specifically -- i.e. like 7 Home, 8 Pro, etc.? (My first guess would be 7 Home or an upgrade to 10).

Are you getting an unidentified network? Run a command prompt window and type in ipconfig and post the result.

I run Windows 10, have done for ages, the issue occured on boot up, I have hard reset the CMOS, Bios, OS,

My PC stats are as followed if anyone needs to know.

MSI z97 Gaming 5 Motherboard
16GB (2x8GB) Kingston RAM
Nvidia MSI GTX 970
I7 4790 (not k)
1 x 2TB HDD 7200 rpm
2x 500GB HDD 7200 rpm in RAID 0
Corsair CX750W PSU

Nothing is overclocked or has been tampered with and nothing has ever had an issue.
I do have an optical drive and fan controller but wifi doesn't work with or without them. I'm certain it's a software issue as wifi doesn't work even with the bare minimum hardware.

The only thing I noticed was there is no Default gateway which I know there should obviously be, although I'm not sure if this is the cause of the issue or simply blank because I have no internet access.

To clarify it simply says unidentified network when I connect.
