But a value is worthless (the HKEY) unless added, changed, or deleted by
a program (the registry editor). You entering HKEY... on a command line
is just going to return an error message. You would need to put the key
in a .reg file (along with data names and their values since a key along
doesn't specify anything unless a placeholder for a non-named "*"
default value) and use regedit.exe /s <file>.reg to load the settings
into the registry or use reg.exe for each directive that was in the .reg
file. Something has to use the key. A house key laying beside the door
won't unlock/lock the door. Someone has to use the key.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/299357/how-to-reset-tcp-ip-by-using-the-netshell-utility
Since all the netsh programs do is to reset the winsock params to their
defaults and the same for the IP bind, those won't help since the OP
already said they were able to protocols *other* than HTTPS to connect
to other Internet hosts. They could even use HTTP. Sockets are working
just fine. They are used for the other protocols, too. His IP binding
works just fine since he can do e-mail, news[groups], and other
protocols. If his IP binding had expired or no longer permitted by his
ISP, he couldn't get anywhere onto or past his ISP's network no matter
what network protocol he used.
Sans all the comment lines, all that batch file has are:
netsh winsock reset catalog
netsh int ip reset c:\reset.log
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nsi\{eb004a00-9b1a-11d4-9123-0050047759bc} 26
^
there was probably supposed to be a backslash here --'
and the command interpreter would puke up an error on the last line
since HKEY...bc} is not a program (external or internal to the cmd.exe
interpreter in its console or shell).
By the way, NSI = Network Store Interface. Go into services (run
services.msc) and read its description.
http://maximumpcguides.com/windows-7/what-is-the-network-store-interface-nsi-service/
If the NSI service was unusable, stopped, or disabled, and according to
its definition, the OP would be incapable of doing e-mail and
new[groups] as he stated, not just problems with HTTPS (but with HTTP
still working).
https://www.windows-security.org/windows-service/network-store-interface-service
If NSI wasn't working, DNS doesn't work. It is unlikely the OP is
specifying IP addresses to connect to web sites but instead uses
hostnames. Humans like names. Computers demand numbers for addressing.
The OP very likely specified hostnames for the e-mail and NNTP servers,
not IP addresses, in his e-mail and newsgroups clients. Without the
DHCP client, his host would not be able to connect to an upstream DHCP
server (in his router/cable modem) that assigns him a dynamic IP address
(but he might be using a static one in his TCP config).
Back in services.msc, go into the properties of the NSI service. Look
under the dependencies tab. You can see all the other services that are
dependent on NSI being available.
Only a value is given in that invalid HKEY line (it's not a command or
program) in your batch file so it is unclear if the original author
meant it to be a value for a data item somewhere under that key or the
name of a key. I went to HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\NSI and,
for me, under that GUID, there is no "26" named subkey and none of the
data items under any subkey for that GUID-named key have a value of 26.
So the original author had something create that subkey but that doesn't
mean it is applicable to anyone else.
The problem is not with the NSI service nor with IP binding nor with
sockets. The OP said he can do e-mail, news[groups], and the
diagnostics said he can do HTTP. He has a valid IP binding, NSI is
running, DNS works, and sockets work because other network protocols do
work. Looks like "can't connect to web" really means he can go to
http:// sites but not to https:// sites.
Whoever wrote that batch file that you use doesn't know networking.
They just proliferated some babble that they copied from somewhere else.
He recites the OSI networking model he was taught in school or read
somewhere. The author intended his netsh commands to fix something
which is not the problem the OP is experiencing.
