NAT connectivity issue

I'm running several win 10 VMs using VMWare Workstation 14.1.2

On some of them, when I select NAT in VM>settings>network adapter, they connect to my host but not to the internet. Others work fine. The ones that don't connect seem to be failing to create a new connection automatically. The icon in the system tray appears but with a yellow triangle on it, and if you hover over it the balloon says "unidentified network - no internet access".

I've tried restarting the VM and updating VMWare tools. I can't find any services running in the working VMs but not the others.

Can anyone suggest any other possible solutions, please? How can I delete the existing network adapters?

Thanks in advance

Do the guest OS's that don't have internet access have valid IP address on the local network your host is connected to? If so, are they able to ping the gateway of that network? If so, what type of router/firewall are you running?

Fixed it, removing and reinstalling the network adapter was all it took.
