This is a good test to see if it’s the laptop…

Re: WiFi not working on one device
If it connects to your phone's wifi hotspot then it'll be the router / hub that's the problem. If it doesn't then it'll be your laptop.

Re: WiFi not working on one device
It has always registered as ‘connected’ to the wifi but reports unidentified network, no internet connection. The exact same message when using ethernet or phone hotspot.
I am convinced the Media Disconnected error is a the root of this problem

Re: WiFi not working on one device
Have a look in the control panel device manager and see if anything is being flagged up (yellow exclamation mark).

I have been certain of that for some time and am sure this Media Disconnected error message is to blame. I have just gone through the reset Winsock, ipv4, ipv6 routine again which does complete successfully but I still cannot get any ipconfig commands to work.

Re: WiFi not working on one device
Worth checking if any system errors too.
Open Start.
Search for Command Prompt, right-click the top result, and select the Run as administrator option.
Type the following command to repair the Windows 10 system files and press Enter: sfc /scannow
This can help if ipconfig doesn't work or run as it can fix them. After you've ran it, then try the ipconfig commands (as admin).

Re: WiFi not working on one device
Could it be the antivirus on the laptop preventing access for some reason ??

Scannow shows, ‘ Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them’.

Downloading an ISO on desktop, getting desperate now, the throw it against the wall option is looming large.

Did you retry the ipconfig commands?
You can use a windows 10 ISO, you're not installing it but using the repair / DISM aspect from the disk image. Normally you use it when you're online, but as you're not you have to use an ISO.
How to use DISM offline repair Windows 10

Or you can repair using the ISO. (upgrade option) - Video included in link.

Re: WiFi not working on one device
Tried ipconfig several times, still no joy. Win 10 ISO upgrade nearly finished loading onto usb drive.
May have to leave it till later now, even in my dotage (75) I still have to get my two or three games of squash or racketball in.
