Windows 10: Connected to internet but system tray says no connection

My setup:


Windows10

Asus RT-N660U

Direct LAN connection

Comcast ISP and DNS


I am online and posting this from the impacted system, so I am clearly online with a connection. For some reason, Windows system tray says I have no internet connection (yellow triangle icon) and Windows store and other apps (Xbox live) aren't able to connect/authenticate. Windows Store shows my profile in the top right corner but encounters an error at sign-in (0x800704cf).


When I noticed the yellow icon in the tray I tried the following:


- ran the recommended network troubleshooting steps

- power cycled modem and router

- flushed DNS cache

- updated drivers

- disabled/re-enabled the LAN adapter

- disabled the wireless adapter (this PC doesn't have a wireless card)

- ran wsreset.exe

- configured router to Google DNS

- ran a factory reset on the router

- disabled Windows Defender firewall (using other security)


What else can I do to resolve this? I don't remember changing anything specific and everything appears to be on current versions.


Any help is greatly appreciated.


Thank you!!

Internet connection speeds

I'm really curious about this, considering the amount of hoopla every major internet connection provider likes to claim about their services, and many times exaggerated just to help their own sales . . .

So, with that in mind, anyone willing to post up their download/upload connection speeds, and we can see just how much of a difference there is in the various internet connection types.

Hit up Speedtest by Ookla - The Global Broadband Speed Test, choose the location closest to your home and begin the test, afterwards, copy and paste your result here. Also, please list what type of connection you have (dial-up, cable, DSL, VDSL, FiOS, etc) - if you are running through an ethernet connection, please also list whether it's a direct connection, or your LAN/WiFi connection speeds.

So, I guess I'lll start:

Verizon standard DSL - D-Link 802.11g 54Mbps

 

Connecting computer with no internet connection to network printer


@dk1971

1. Open Admin command and type: ipconfig
   
   
   
2. Win+X->Control Panel->Netwok and Sharing Center
   Follow the screen shot. This should disable internet access from this PC but allows access to local device(s)
   NOTE: Use the IP & Subnet Mask from step 1. Leave Default gateway & DNS Server blank
   
   
   

 

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.
