Windows 10: I have full internet connection, but the system says I don't.

I'm currently using an Ethernet connection, and although I have internet access, I can go on the internet and use applications that require internet, Windows 10 thinks I don't have internet.

This is very annoying because It means I can't use Microsoft Office applications like word, or access the Microsoft store, or even update my computer, since it thinks my internet is down.

My wireless connections also so don't seem to work, and I've tried many different methods, but none of them seem to work for my situation.

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.
