After spending several hours trying to sort out my lack of internet, I finally found that by rolling back to a few days ago (before a host of windows updates were installed),it now works perfectly!
Has anybody else had this problem??

Don't think so. But I would check to see if it's not malware.

Also to help us what are other symptoms have you got (other than lack of access of Interweb thingy) ie any messages. My wife says she can't access the internet either, but that is because because I have deleted her

I had the same problem on my laptop and also ended up having to roll back to a few days prior to the update.
In my case, it was a problem with the wireless connection and, after trauling the internet and varies official MS articles on the subject, I came to the same solution as you and rolled back to before the updates.
Interestingly, MS blamed mainly the router and then possibly wireless adapter in the PC, never their own updates. Funny then, that I could still connect wirelessly to my faulty router with my iPhone :huh:0 -
I disabled my Windows Automatic updates as every time the laptop updated it crashed!"Ignore the eejits...it saves your blood pressure and drives `em nuts!"0
