Desktop IE (W8) Internet Explorer not be able to connect to the internet

Issue Description: Desktop Internet Explorer does not connect to the internet while Windows UI works fine. Other browsers work fine too.
Perform the following steps:

• Confirm Desktop IE works fine in Safe Mode

• Uninstall any security software installed and disable Windows Firewall/Microsoft Security Essentials

• Reset IE including personal settings (Favorites will NOT be deleted by this)

• Confirm no 3rd Party add-on is causing the issue by running IE without add-ons.

• Bring up Run

• Type iexplore -extoff

• Check connectivity

• Delete the contents of the install.ins file

• Launch Notepad in Admin mode

• Open C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\Signup\install.ins

• Delete everything which is written below [URL]

• Save changes

• Open C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\Signup\install.ins

• Delete everything which is written below [URL]

• Save changes

• Reset Internet Explorer

If these steps don't work, try using 32 Bit Internet Explorer instead of 64 Bit. Else, try creating a new user account. If no go, refresh the system. This will not delete any user files or Windows UI apps but will remove any desktop apps the customer has installed.
