Hey everyone, my PC has suddenly stopped connecting to the internet. It was working fine yesterday morning, but now even with the Ethernet cable plugged in, it won't connect. I tried using USB tethering with my phone, but it says there's no internet access when it usually works without issues. I've included the output from ipconfig /all for reference if that helps. Any ideas on what could be going wrong?

Consider calling your Internet service provider to check for any outages in your area. It’s surprising how often simple issues can be fixed by just rebooting your PC.
You should start by checking the output of "ipconfig /all" from your command prompt. It can give you a lot of diagnostic information on your network settings.
If all your other devices are getting internet but not your PC, try releasing and renewing your IP address. You can do this in the command prompt by using the commands "ipconfig /release" followed by "ipconfig /renew".
Make sure your network drivers are up to date. Sometimes a simple driver update followed by a restart can resolve these kinds of issues.
Thanks for the tip! I updated, but unfortunately, it didn’t work.
