  1. Windows 10 says "Not Connected - Connections are available" but I can use the internet.


    Windows 10 says "Not Connected - Connections are available" but I can use the internet. I'm connected to my home wifi, but it says "No internet" for that too. I tried tethering my phone to my PC, but the same thing happens. I'm connected to the internet, but windows doesn't seem to realize that.


    Anyway to fix this?

    :)

  2. I am connected to the internet, but in the toolbar it says Not Connect


    I am connected to the internet, but in the toolbar it says Not Connected and Connections are available.
    I am referring this to the Wifi Icon on the Bottom Right Corner near the Clock (Notification Area). There is no yellow asterix and I am properly connected to the internet. When I click this Wifi Icon , a window pops up and on its top it shows my ssid and below it shows connected. Disconnect option is also here.
    Please suggest some remedial measure.
    I have already changed my Wifi adapter - previously it was Wayona and now I am using Prolink. Both works well.
    Thanks in advance.

    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.

    Windows 10 says "Not Connected - Connections are available" but I can use the internet.

    Network Settings says No Internet Connection, But...


    I've tried unselecting the option but I didn't fix the issue - nor could I see why it would.

    The following things connect to the internet fine:
    • Microsoft Edge (new IE)
    • Chrome
    • Skype
    • Steam's browser and Steam multiplayer games
    • League of Legends launcher, patcher, PVP.net and game client
    • Battle.net
    • Pretty much everything
    What doesn't work:

    • Network Center (says I'm not connected)
    • Windows Live Mail (logging in)
    • Outlook (logging in)
    • Notepad 8 (logging in)
    • User Accounts (logging in)
    The issue seems to affect any Microsoft product that tries to connect to Live.
