Windows 10: Windows says no internet access when computer is on-line, can't update or troubleshoot

As far as I can tell all of my applications, including Edge, can access the internet without a problem, in fact I'm using the computer to post this right now, but Windows says there's "no internet access." Every so often it disconnects from the net apparently on its own for no reason, saying that action is required to connect to my network. When I click to connect to the network again it goes back on-line and brings up the msn homepage but still says "no internet access." To be clear, I'm able to use the internet normally despite what it says.


Possibly related issue is that Windows Update doesn't seem to work. It's able to check for updates but won't download or install anything. All the updates just say "Pending download" and nothing happens. I've tried using the troubleshooter for the network center as well as Windows Update, and it tells me to "Complete the logon process," giving me an option to "Show me where I can do the above task." When I click on that it opens a browser window to microsoft.com with no further explanation. When I go to the next step in the troubleshooter it tells me to "sign up with with this network's ISP to get access to the internet."

PC says I have internet access but still no internet in praxis

Hi,

I appreciate the troubleshooting steps you have tried to resolve the issue.

• Have you installed all pending Windows and Network adaptor driver updates?
• Do you get any error message? If yes share the exact and complete error message?

As an initial troubleshooting step I suggest you to install all pending Windows updates and Network adaptor updates.
Updates are additions to software that can help prevent or fix problems, improve how your computer works, or enhance your computing experience.

Please refer to the following Wiki article created by Andre Da Costa
on How to: Install and Update drivers in Windows 10.

If the issue still persists follow the link below and perform the troubleshooting steps suggested.

These steps are applicable to Ethernet and WIFI connection issues. Do let us know if you are able to use internet.

Thank you.

 

One computer cannot access other network computers.


So I've tried every troubleshooting step I know:

• Double checked that Net Bios was enabled
• Ran a bunch of network commands:
  • flushed DNS
  • registered dns
  • pinged and located the named computers successfully
• Reset my router to factory settings

Nothing works when I try to access via explorer. I'm still baffled by the fact that every other computer can access each other AND access this computer. It's just the outgoing connection from this machine that doesn't work.

Any thoughts?
