Hi folks
I bought Win 8 Pro today and upgraded from windows 7. When I connect to the internet via the desktop everything works perfectly (connected to home wifi) but whenever I try to launch a metro app I get general issues that I'm not connected to the internet, check my connection and try again... see attached screenshots
What I've tried
when I view the network and sharing centre it doesn't show my active connection (see attached)
Has anyone came across this?
I was thinking of trying a clean install, or perhaps using a different connection; phone as modem etc
Any help would be appreciated.
Barry

What I've tried
- creating a new user account
- creating a new admin account
- using a local profile
- using my Hotmail account
- refreshed the install / lost all programs (will be a pain to reload all)
