Windows 10: on my friends laptop has windows 11 Network Adaptor yellow triangle

my friend is having issues with is internet and keeps getting mad without going to support but hes been having this issue for a few months maybe longer and the only way he knows how to fix it is by factory resetting his laptop and he tried to fix it but it keeps showing up and he tried looking for ways to fix it but all are on windows 10 and i think asking here is the best bet to figuring it out if you need more info ill ask my friend or send this to him.

Windows 11 Network Adaptor yellow triangle

I am on Windows 11 with an Acer Swift 1 laptop. My Network connections frequently disappear & while this phone s happening I can’t connect to the internet & cannot get flight mode. I have spent today uninstalling & restarting but it always comes back with a yellow triangle? This has been ongoing for months & seems to happen when I move my laptop around. Please can you help?

 

network shows yellow triangle but network works

My windows 10 computer showed a yellow triangle in the network icon. It seemed that there was no network connection but there was. All non Microsoft programs worked fine.

After 4 hours of sweeting I found out that I had to change a registry entry

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NlaSvc\Parameters\Internet

and then the Triangle disappeared. I'm using a wired connection.

The problem is that the windows updates doesn't work, when there is a yellow triangle. So without knowing your computer is not safe anymore, because there is some strange network check.

The question for me is why there is a network check which seems unreliable.

Kind regards

Yellow Triangle in Windows Defender Taskbar icon

I have a yellow triangle in my windows defender icon on the task bar on my laptop with Windows 365. I have repeatedly verified that windows defender is up to date and the basic security is listed as OK. Drilling into the Defender menu I have found the yellow triangle next to "local security authority protection" but the explanation is only for a professional. What do I need to do?
