Fix KB4088875, KB4088878 Internet issues
Well, if your computer can’t connect to the Internet, try running the built-in Internet troubleshooter. Maybe this quick workaround will help you solve the problem so that you don’t have to perform a rollback. Go to Start > type ‘control panel’ and launch the tool. Navigate to Network and Internet and click on Network & Sharing Center.
In the new window, click on Troubleshoot problems to diagnose and repair network problems and fix the problem.
For the time being, nobody knows exactly why these two updates break users’ Internet connection and cause these static IP issues. If the Internet troubleshooter failed to fix the connection, try deleting the respective updates or roll back the OS to a previous version. Although it appears that this is quite a widespread issue, Microsoft has yet to issue any comments on this matter. Did you encounter similar problems after updating your Windows 7 computer?
