Windows 10: Windows thinks I’m not connected to the internet but I am

Windows thinks im not connected to the internet but i am. I can browse the internet, download games, watch videos but anything to do with windows it tells me im not connected.

Ive tried everything to fix it but with no luck, nothing has fixed it. Its finally start to get really annoying.

:)

 

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.

Windows thinks I am not connected but I am


Windows 10 problems – network awareness and Win 10 apps. not working on Wi-Fi or Wired (CAT5e).

1. Network and Sharing Center shows “you are currently not connected to any networks.”
> Even though I connected using either wireless or wired connections.
> Checked workgroup= OK and can print to network printer so LAN is working on wi-fi or wired.

2. Wi-Fi works BUT hovering over icon says, “Identifying…Internet Access.
> When wifi network list is opened it shows my SSID as Connected but network and sharing says same as #1 above.

3. Cannot add user account to computer. Gives message: “Something Went Wrong!”.

4. Search is limited to computer only – “We can’t connect to the internet right now. But you can still search your stuff.” Win 10 does search the laptop and provide results. If searching by Bing, default browser, Chrome, opens and gets to the internet okay.

5. Edge does not connect to internet.
> Firefox and Chrome connects without delay.
> Outlook connects and email accounts work okay.

6. Cortana does not work. Gives message that cannot search internet now. Make sure you are connected to the internet (even though laptop is connected).

Conclusion: Windows 10 has lost accurate network connection awareness and this prohibits parts of Windows (Edge, Cortana, Search), Add user account and other internals from working properly due to dependency on internet access.

In other words, all Windows MODERN apps. (Mail, News, Money, Calendar, Search, Edge, Cortana, etc.) are not working due to being told there is no internet connection. WiFi list shows SSID as Connected and I have full internet access.

Non-Windows Modern apps. like Firefox and Chrome work fine. Outlook also works fine.

I have tried many things but would like to hear from you with possible solutions beyond basics (clean install not an option). Thanks in advance for any assistance you might offer.
