Windows 10: Tons of apps and websites believe I'm not connected to the internet, but I am hence this post

I've seriously struggled with this for about 10 hours of troubleshooting by now, and I'm asking here on the off chance this problem is even fixable without buying more hardware. It started Friday the 17th when the router got unplugged. I then plugged it in the next morning. The WIFI worked to an extent I'll explain later Saturday morning, but when I tried restarting the router, the WIFI completely stopped working.

My internet keeps dropping out!

Apps don't connect to Internet

Hi Manuel,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.

This usually occurs if you have connected to a proxy server or date and time is not set correctly according to your time zone. Let's try the following methods to fix this issue.

Step 1: Check if the
proxy server is enabled. If yes, I would suggest that you disable it.

Follow the given below steps:

• Click the Gearbox (settings)
  at the top right corner in Internet Explorer.
• Click on Internet Options and select
  Connections tab.
• Click on LAN settings and uncheck the box next to “proxy server for your LAN”.
• Click OK to save and close the window.

Step 2: Check if the date, time and time zone are set according to your time and time zone.

The store app uses https instead of http which is used by other apps, so in order for the SSL handshake to proceed, the clock on the client and server needs to be correct.

Follow these steps to set the date and time:

• Press Windows key and type “Date and Time” in the search bar.
• Click Change date and time button (To change the time zone click on time zone tab).
• Click Apply and OK to save the date and time.

Hope this will help you. Keep us posted with the status of the issue. We’ll be glad to assist if you need further assistance.

Thank you.
