Windows 10: My computer is connected to wifi but keeps saying it is not connected to the internet and...

My computer is on windows seven. I have it connected to my home's wifi and can access the internet on it through google chrome but with anything else it keeps saying it is not connected to the internet at all, and it won't let me download anything properly. Every time I open chrome there is a message saying I need to update to windows ten, but I don't know how to do that. I have managed to download steam but it keeps saying it needs updates and won't open. How can I fix this?

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
   
   
   

 

I am connected to the internet, but in the toolbar it says Not Connect


I am connected to the internet, but in the toolbar it says Not Connected and Connections are available.
I am referring this to the Wifi Icon on the Bottom Right Corner near the Clock (Notification Area). There is no yellow asterix and I am properly connected to the internet. When I click this Wifi Icon , a window pops up and on its top it shows my ssid and below it shows connected. Disconnect option is also here.
Please suggest some remedial measure.
I have already changed my Wifi adapter - previously it was Wayona and now I am using Prolink. Both works well.
Thanks in advance.

Computer says not connected to Internet even after connected to Internet

Hi Mark,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that applications show that you are not connected to Internet. I’ll certainly help you with this issue.



However, please let us know:

• How is the computer connected to Internet i.e. Ethernet or Wi-Fi?
  
• Are you aware of any changes made on the computer prior to this issue?
  
• Which build version of Windows 10 is installed on the computer? To check type:
  winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit
  Enter.
  

I would suggest you to try changing the network connection i.e. if the computer is connected to Internet through Wi-Fi, try using Ethernet and check if that helps.

Let us know how it goes.
