Windows 10: Windows 10: Internet connected and running but Windows 10 says there is no internet...

I had to remove and reinstall Windows 10 a few days ago. I've fixed all the other issues which have arisen due to this, but my final one is that Windows 10 says I have no connection to the internet, even though I do Ethernet. Obviously, I am typing this on the computer, so...


I have tried the fixes set out in the thread -

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/windows-10-says-i-have-no-internet-connection-but/50153e5b-a008-443d-af0e-5ee3822c37a1


There are two primary fixes set out in the thread above. The first is contained at the end of this article: https://www.windowslatest.com/2020/08/06/microsoft-tests-fix-for-windows-10-no-internet-bug/


The second is based on the following premise:

This problem doesn’t really have anything to do with being able to reach that link. If you look at the thread, you’ll see that most of us have no problems actually connecting to the Internet. The problem is Windows 10 displays that there is no Internet access when there actually is. It makes connecting to Microsoft cloud-centric apps Store, Feedback, Office 365, etc as well as Windows Updates, impossible.


The second solution set out the following edit to the files "hosts" in the registry, forcing Windows to reflect an internet connection:

*****************************************************************

run notepad as administrator

file > open

go to c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc

change the file types to All Files *.* so you can see it

hosts should be in the list, open it

go to the bottom of the file

add a blank line to the bottom, then add the following two lines you may be able to get away with just the second one, but it cant hurt to add both

13.107.4.52 www.msftconnecttest.com

13.107.4.52 msftconnecttest.com

add a blank line at the bottom under these dont leave the entry as the last line or it may not work

save it

close notepad

restart windows ***************************************************************


Neither of the above have worked for me.


Anyone have any other solutions for me to try?


Is Microsoft aware of this ongoing issue, and are they taking steps to correct it?

Upgrading to Windows 10 from windows 7 and losing internet connection

Did you run the Windows 10 connection troubleshooter?

Troubleshoot Internet connection problems

Also, check in the "Device Manager" to see if the network adapter is ok.
You may need to un-install it and then "Scan for new devices".

This is published by HP; however, it gives some good info on troubleshooting with the device manager.

Upgrading to Windows 10 from windows 7 and losing internet connection

A couple of days ago I upgraded my desktop to windows 10 after getting one of those MS prompts. However now I cannot access the internet and suspect the drivers from the Gigabyte GA-MA790X-ud4 motherboard does not support the internet drivers required. Searching the manufacturers website has not given me any joy either. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

 

Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?




Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).
