Windows 10: Internet Connection not detected by system windows

Hi,


Let me state the chain of event that leads up to my current platform

- My outlook can't connect to internet, despite i can browse just fine

- Closing the outlook, then it can't even start at all

- I am uninstalling my whole office programs

- When trying to reinstall using online installer, i can't install office the installers says no internet connection --> internet connection works just fine though

- After some restarts later, the connection icon says that i do not have internet connection, but i can browse just fine other apps that use internet also works

- Now i can't even sign in and sync my windows with my Microsoft account says no internet connect


So overall, i think the windows somehow think i did not have an internet connection, which is why all windows related apps can't connect to the internet, while it is actually connecting.


Is there any way to fix it or do i have to reinstall the windows altogether?


I have tried several fixes through regedit and command prompt, nothing works.


I am using windows 10 Pro with recent updates

why isn't my internet connection being detected

What do you mean by not detected, that you are not able to get an Internet connection or that that connection icon doesn't show up but you can still access the Internet? Also, what OS are you using? (XP SP3)

Maybe Windows enabled the firewall for the LAN device (sometimes the firewall causes more problems than it solves), and if you are using a router (with NAT) you can safely turn off Windows firewall for that device only, you can do this by performing the following changes:

• Leave Windows Firewall turned On
  
  
  
• And now Disable it for the LAN only (un-checked box):
  
  
  

Other solution might be related to DHCP, and that depends if you had a static IP addresses on your computer or the router assigned you an IP address via DHCP. You might wanna check out this related thread
