I recently installed the Windows 11 KB5079473 patch, and now my laptop keeps connecting to the Wi-Fi but shows no internet access. I've tried various fixes like running the sfc/scannow command, using ethernet, and rolling back to the previous update, but nothing has worked. I even checked the properties for network sharing, but that didn't help either. I'm looking for any solutions since I don't have any backups. Just to clarify, I paused the automatic updates intentionally; it wasn't during the middle of an update.

It sounds like you might be dealing with a configuration issue after the update. Since you paused updates before it finished, that could lead to some glitches. Try letting the update fully install, then reboot your laptop along with your router. That often fixes connectivity issues after updates.
If you're still having trouble after rebooting, I recommend checking your network settings. Sometimes automatic updates can mess with your DNS settings. Go to your network properties and set your DNS to 8.8.8.8 (Google DNS) to see if that resolves your issue.
