Windows 10: I can use internet, but it says I have no active connections.

(German here, my Windows is in german, i am trying to translate the WinSettings as good as I can)


All started friday when I got a new internetconnection installed. My computer wasn't in use for 3 months, friday I turned it on and wanted to intall the WinUpdates (with my new internet connection and new router) but it didnt do anything and it sat with "waiting to be intalled".

Then I started searching for reasons and I saw that I can use my browsers such as Chrome or Opera and I can connect to Discord App and Spotify without problem, but all Windows Apps wont work. I can't use any Windowsservices which need internet.


1) If I hover over the monitor Icon for the network it says :no connections found, not connected. It also has the white X with red background on it.

2) If I click on it with leftclick it says "Ethernet-Connected"

3) If i go on "Change Network and Internetsettings" it says on my Networkstatus "Not connected. You are not connected with any Network" (even tho i am using my network right now as you can see)

4) If i click on "solve problems" it says "restet your Network", did this multiple times but 1)-3) still apply

5) If i click on "show available networks" it just opens the little grey box on the bottom of my taskbar when i click on the network icon.

6) If i go on my Network and sharing center it shows no active networks

7) if I go on "change advanced sharing settings" it shows 3 options which i can Expand

- private

- guest or public (current profile) .... Why does it say current profile? I never ticked the box to set it public and i never got asked when installing my router if this network is public or private

-all networks

8) When I try to reinstall direct X it seems to work but then no game seems to find the needed files (could this be because of this problem? since i have no updates intalled)

9) If i check for my networkprofiles in the registry there is nothing there ..

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I am NOT using a Proxyserver or anything (never did) I never used another anti-virus programm other then WindowsDefender.


I tried almost anything I could find on other threads. Reinstall my adapter and its driver. Deactivate my Firewall, call my internet provider and ask them to reset my routersettings. I even refreshed my windows (without clearing my data), tried to change my networkprofile via registry,

I dont know what to do anymore. feel free to send advice ill try anything as long as my pc wont stop working.


feel free to ask for more info ill post asap, thanks

I understand the issue that you are facing currently, and we in Community will try to resolve your issue the best way we can.

Before I can provide you any assistance, I would like you to answer the question below:

1. Do you that an un-interrupted internet connection?

2. Is your web browser working properly?

I suggest that you perform the steps below and check if the issue persist:

Step 1: Disable Proxy

Sometimes using proxy to connect to the internet may cause issues while connecting to the network.

Follow the steps below to disable proxy:

• Press “Windows Key” + “R”.
• Type “inetcpl.cpl”.
• Go to Connection.
• Click on LAN Settings.
• Check the box which says Automatically detect settings.
• Uncheck the box under Proxy server.

Step 2: Run Internet Troubleshooter.

Though you are able to use internet, there could be some problems or some settings which could have stopped Windows services to connect to the internet.

I suggest you to run the Internet connection troubleshooter to fix such issues, follow the steps below:

• Press Windows key + R
• Type Control

• Click on Connect to the internet
• Click on Next and follow the On-screen instructions.

I have done all the above and have a 50mbps connection. Help. Thank You

 

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.
