Error: Wifi doesn't have a valid IP configuration (Windows 10)

[ffemt]

Just bought a new Dell laptop with Windows 10 and I've been getting the error: Wi-Fi doesn't have a valid IP configuration.

I am able connect to my wifi at home no problem if I just booted up from a shutdown or restart. If I close my lid and put the PC to sleep, once I open it my wifi signal says I'm connected to my network but I'm stuck at the "identifying" part. Once I run the diagnostic helper that's when I get the main error.

I've tried a few suggestions online:
-the ipconfig/release and renew commands
-make sure DHCP is enabled

-have not tried manually inputting numbers into IPv4 like some suggestions stated, not that computer savvy and couldn't find all the values I needed

none have seemed to work. Open to any suggestions, thank you in advance!

Same thing happened to me couple days ago on one of my units. I started reading about that issue, but did not find good answers. Then I rebooted the unit and it went away, haven't had a problem since. BTW, I was running both units logged in at the same time and they were not joined as a homegroup, which is where the problem might have been.

I used to get this on my Windows 8 tablet. I'd have to go into the device manager, disable the wifi adapter, then reboot and re-enable it.

In windows 8.1 I had a similar problem, I reset the router back to default and redid the settings. No issues since.
