Windows 10: My Windows 11 Home edition suddenly deactivated, does this affect my internet connections?

My Windows 11 deactivated itself, and is saying I don't have a valid digital license or product key. "If you think you do have a valid license or key, select Troubleshoot below. Error Code: 0xC004F012". When clicking the Troubleshoot button, it detects for a problem for a second and says to make sure I am connected to the internet. It says I am connected and secured to my Home network and so are many other devices, but this device alone wont open up any websites or online applications. I do not understand why my Windows 11 suddenly deactivated and why it would affect my network accessibility.

Suddenly cant connect to the internet

Hi guys need help here, been cracking my brain for 6 hrs now

Suddenly my main pc cant connect to the internet, this is suprising coz i just used it 30 mins before.

1. its not my provider coz other PCs in my house can connect even using same ethernet jack.

2. i have tried reinstalling windows on the c partition . still wont connect.

3. i have tried reinstalling fron my Acronis backup . still wont connect.

What the hell can it be??*Cry :cry:

once it somehow communicated with the internet and saif "error 400 wrong request" on firefox and if i tried with IE it would show a page with some funny coded programming language.


Any ideas guys?

 

Suddenly no internet on Windows 11 PC

Dear Community,

Today I suddenly lost access to the internet on my PC.

On every other device the internet is working fine (Laptop, Smartphone).

Opening any website on Edge reads ERR_NETWORK_ACCESS_DENIED. Other Apps do not work either (Teams, Outlook, ...)

Whenever I try to ping or do a nslookup on www.google.com or my own router I receive the error message: General failure.

However, pinging localhost works fine.

I tried to connect my PC to the internet in different ways: Ethernet, Wifi and even Bluetooth Tethering. None of those methods worked.

Plus, I don't believe this issue is hardware related since:

• On my router the PC is shown as connected and is not blocked.
  
• I am able to transmit files over Bluetooth to my PC with no problems. So, at least Tethering should have worked.
  
• My PC is not even a year old and the hardware is modern.
  

Troubleshooting methods I have already tried:

• Starting Windows 11 in Safe mode with Networking option enabled
  
• Running Troubleshooter for Network adapter, Internet connection and Co.
  
• Resetting the Network adapter
  
• Deactivating Windows Defender Firewall (I have no other antivirus software installed on my PC)
  
• Uninstalling all VPN profiles and VPN apps
  
• Windows socket reset: ipconfig /release, ipconfig /renew, netsh winsock reset
  
• TCP/IP suite reset and DNS flush: netsh int ip reset c:\tcp.txt, ipconfig /flushdns
  
• Downloading and installing newest Wifi/Ethernet Windows 11 labeled drivers for my mainboard (MSI MAG B550M Mortar WIFI)
  
• Uninstalling all network drivers and letting them install automatically by restarting the computer
  
• Uninstalling most recent Windows 11 quality updates (uninstalling most recent feature updates did not work anymore)
  

Windows 11 did an update yesterday evening. However, the internet was working fine today until ~12:00.

I was not doing anything special at the moment.

Are there any log files or methods to find out what could be causing this error?

I would be very grateful for any hints to find out what could be blocking the internet on my PC.

Kind regards,

Berat

 

Installing windows required connect to internet ?

When clean installing windows, there's a first step installation menu appear like copying files, installing updates etc. Does this process need internet connection ? Because my internet suddenly off, so i've to think it's will impact my installation.
