Windows 10: NOT CONNECTED TO ANY NETWORK BUT INTERNET IS WORKING FINE. CAN'T UPDATE MICROSOFT RELATED APPS

Good day would like to ask how to fix my weird problem. I can surf the net but it shows that I'm not connected to any network, already did most of the solutions in the forum and clean reinstall windows several times but the problem still persists. it shows that IPV4 and 6 disconnected.

Modern apps not connecting to internet, desktop apps work fine.


Hi,

As the post title suggests, I am having trouble with the modern apps and connectivity. It feels like half my computer will connect to the internet, and the other half won't. Desktop apps like Chrome, Steam, Outlook, iTunes etc. all connect to the internet fine, but any of the Windows apps like Xbox, Store and (most frustratingly) Settings will not connect.

In my network and sharing centre in the control panel it says 'You are not connected to any networks' - but in the system tray, and in the settings app it shows me as connected to my home wi-fi. I am on a desktop, and using a USB wireless adapter. I don't think the adapter is the problem as I have tried it on another desktop in our house on Windows 10 and it worked fine. Curiously also, when I click 'Adapter settings' in the control panel, it shows the wifi connection.

I've tried updating the drivers for the wireless adapter, both through the Windows update and adapter website but to no avail (and as I mentioned, it seems the adapter works fine elsewhere). I've updated manually to the latest Windows 10 Pro build, i've done a DNS flush, I've tried disabling firewalls and anti-virus, I've tried disabling startup apps, I've done a clean install of Windows 10 and still am unable to fix the issue.

If anyone has any ideas that might help that would be great. I'm happy to provide any more information if people need it.

Thanks very much.

 

Laptop apps (Settings, Etc) say not connected to network or internet but browser connects to home network and internet

Thanks for the response, Greg.

I re-registered apps per your suggestion.

Didn't fix problem.

The problem seems related to built-in system apps --I.E Settings, Network and Internet Settings, Windows Updates, List of available wifi networks, etc.

None of those apps recognize my connection to LAN network and internet connection.

However, the list of available wifi networks does show I'm connected to my home wifi connection, but says no internet connection.

I can't perform any Settings functions or anything which requires internet connection because the built-in app thinks it's not connected to internet.

But, my Firefox browser has full internet and LAN connection and abilities.

I appreciate any thing you can recommend.

Also note I keep getting a "notification" that my Microsoft account needs attention. It directs me to Shared Experiences" to fix the problem. I try to fix from there but it fails due to "No internet connection"

I have checked my Microsoft account via browser access and finf no highlighted problem in my account.

Regards,

Richard

 

Network says no internet when most apps connect fine

My internet says it is not connected to the internet after connecting to my router. The problem is that most apps (browsers, games, etc.) work fine but most Microsoft apps (Word, OneNote, Help, even Windows Update) refuse to connect. I've tried Networking
Reset's, safe modes, disabling startup items that may cause issues, different wireless networks, wired connections, but nothing seems to work.
