    Cannot connect to any online game but internet is working fine.


    I bought a new laptop beginning of this month, installed some games, everything worked fine. Few weeks ago I tried playing games like rainbow six seige, gta online, they worked fine. Yesterday I tried playing six seige again but it was forever stuck on matchmaking. Tried other games like apex legends, cod warzone, gta online, they dont seem to be working as well. In the period, I updated drivers of nvidia and windows. I tried all the standard things like resetting the router, troubleshooting, reinstalling games still to no avail. I think the issue is not with the internet but a software one. A

    Ping works fine, but no Internet connection in browser

    Without having changed any settings, I can't access the Internet anymore through my laptop running Windows 10. Every browser tells me the connection has timed out. I can connect to the router and other devices on the network are not affected. Windows tells me that I am "connected to the Internet" but apparently, that's no help. It doesn't seem to work through other WiFi networks or ethernet either.

    ping google.com works fine and surfing by IP address does not help.
    I tried restarting the computer, restarting the router, resetting IP configuration with no avail. I couldn't find a problem in the network settings either. I tried about anything suggested on this website.
    I hope someone of you has any idea as to what could resolve the issue. Thanks.

    Update

    So it turns out I can access google websites such as google.com or youtube, but nothing else. I tried some of the suggestions I found online, but nothing worked. Ideas?

    Network Settings says No Internet Connection, But...


    I've tried unselecting the option but I didn't fix the issue - nor could I see why it would.

    The following things connect to the internet fine:
    • Microsoft Edge (new IE)
    • Chrome
    • Skype
    • Steam's browser and Steam multiplayer games
    • League of Legends launcher, patcher, PVP.net and game client
    • Battle.net
    • Pretty much everything
    What doesn't work:

    • Network Center (says I'm not connected)
    • Windows Live Mail (logging in)
    • Outlook (logging in)
    • Notepad 8 (logging in)
    • User Accounts (logging in)
    The issue seems to affect any Microsoft product that tries to connect to Live.

    Internet Connection is not working on Game Windows 10

    Hi,

    We need few details to assist you better,

    1. Are you playing online games?

    2. Do you face this issue only with this game?

    3. Are using Edge or internet explorer to play game?

    The most common cause is a missing or outdated add-on that’s needed to play the game. Most online games are based on Silverlight, Flash and do require Internet Explorer add-ons to function.

    In most cases, ensuring that you have the latest updates for Windows, Internet Explorer and any Internet Explorer add-ons can help resolve most issues.

    As initial troubleshooting steps, we suggest you to install the latest windows 10 updates, please follow the steps to install all the windows updates.

    If you want to check for the update now, select the Start button , then select Settings > Update & security > Windows Update > Check for updates.

    For games that use Silverlight, issues can be resolved by updating to the latest version of Silverlight

    Install the latest version of Silverlight and then make sure Silverlight is enabled in Internet Explorer.

    And also we suggest you to Enable Flash Player and check,

    Adobe Flash Player End of Life

    Hope this information helps you to play game with good internet connection.

    Thank you.
