Windows 10: Network was out earlier, then came back on. Now my network status says "No Internet Access"...

My internet went out last night and then this morning was back for 1 mb/s before going out again. I restarted computer, unplugged router and cables, etc and then went to take a nap. An hour or two later I wake up and my internet is back.


I go on youtube to look up a video and halfway through it stops saying "No Internet". So I go get a drink and come back and the video is now done buffering. I received a message from a friend and the status says "No Internet". Yet I can still post on here, still do a speedtest, watch youtube, etc.


Is there something wrong with my computer? How will I know later on if I'm connected or not or what problem to look for if the PC doesn't give me the proper information?


All of this is ethernet cable btw, no wifi even on my computer. I'm too afraid to try restarting my computer in case I lose internet connection again.

Network & Internet Status says Not Connected yet Ethernet is Connected!!

Hi,

If updating your PC was the only change made prior to the issue, then we suggest that you download the latest network adapter from the manufacturer's website. An outdated or incompatible network adapter driver can cause connection problems.

Before doing so, let's first try to diagnose and fix common connection problems using the Network troubleshooter. To run the Network troubleshooter, follow these steps:

• In the search box on the taskbar, type Network troubleshooter, and then select
  Identify and repair network problems from the list of results.
• Follow the steps in the troubleshooter and see if that resolves the problem.

If the troubleshooter can't identify the problem, proceed with updating the network adapter driver. If the issue persists, try to install the driver in compatibility mode. You may refer to the steps below:

• Right-click on the driver and select Properties.
• Select Compatibility tab.
• Place a check mark next to Run this program in Compatibility mode and select the operating system accordingly from the drop-down list.
• Let the driver install and then check the functionality.

Let us know how it turns out for you.

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I would suggest you to try the steps provided in article:
Fix network connection issues in Windows. Also check if the proxy settings are
disabled. To check the proxy settings:

1. Open Windows Settings (Windows key + I)
   
2. Then click on Network & Internet > Proxy.
   
3. Toggle the option Automatically detect settings to ON.
   
4. Toggle the option Use a proxy server to OFF.
   

Hope it helps.
