Failure. I have ran across this error twice. And it seems to be a bugger. It will disconnect your computer from the Internet by stopping or blocking the DHCP client or causing a failure in the Windows socket function. Here is a simple and Low Tech resolution: System Restore. When I 1st ran across this problem it took me the better half of a day to fix it. The 2nd time it took me less than 10 minutes. Restoring your system to an earlier date seems to repair the dis function of the Winsock which will automatically start your DHCP client which allows you to connect to the Internet. I will say both times I ran across this issue were on Windows Vista. I have not seen this issue on Windows XP or Windows 7. I hope this post helps anyone that has this issue. Please note that you should create a system restore point at least once a month, start with the 1st time you turn it on.

It took about 10 minutes to https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/a-system-call-that-should-never-fail-has-failed-thanks-microsoft.1163722/ start, and everything seemed very slow. task manager showed that it was using 800Mb out of 1000Mb, so that accounts for part of the slowdown. A look into the processes, showed that nothing was monopolising the error a CPU, and the disk drive wasn't busy either. The obvious first step was to install MalwareBytes, but It gave a few errors and wouldn't install. OK, its looking more likely that there is an infection at work here. I start in safe mode (with networking), and manage to install and (but not update) malwarebytes… hmmm, nasty. I decide to scan with the slightly outdated malwarebytes, and it finds a few virus and spyware error a system "leftovers" that were skipped by avast. But that still doesn't account for the slowness and the lack of internet. Next, I start the PC "normally", and take a look at the windows services. The first thing that grabs my eye, is that the DNS service is not running. Since DNS is a very important part of using the internet, it shouldn't be stopped… so I try to start it, and I get the following error: Error 10107: a system call that should never fail has failed. So after I stop laughing, I get off the floor, and decide to look at the event log, and see what kind of error messages the systems has been generating. But starting the event viewer gives another error: Error 1747: the authentication service is unknown. Now this is getting really strange. I take a look through the list of services, only to find that the event log service is not listed in the services list! At this point, I decide to scan the net for a solution… and I find a remarkably simple solution: start an administrator command prompt (start -> search for cmd -> right-click -> "run as administrator" once the command prompt (black box) starts, type: netsh winsock reset then reboot the PC. Amazingly, the PC is now
