    Windows thinks laptop is offline when Im connected and using the Internet


    Desktop hard-wired to router, works fine, laptop on wifi, works fine for everything but Microsoft, which thinks laptop is offline. Desktop can't sign in to anything Windows related, like games, xbox. I get "offline" message. I can have multiple browser instances open, be streaming music etc, and yet Windows tells me I'm offline. The icon on the desktop will show me as having internet access, but Microsoft doesn't recognize it.


    Can't sign in to Microsoft account from laptop either. Offers to let me sign in locally but don't seem to have a password that works, neither machine log-in passwords work. so I backed out of trying that.


    I do use Outlook.com email with no problems.


    Windows 10 is up to date. Happens with or without VPN running. Removed it from start-up to test this.

    :)
