Hello, use Registry Editor, go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NlaSvc\Parameters\Internet
and modify: EnableActiveProbing
then change "Value data" from "0" to "1"
and restart your computer
Windows 10 says I have no internet connection, but I have.

I am running on Windows 10 Enterprise, Version 2004, OS Build 19041.264.
I recently changed to the Windows Insider Program and updated Windows. In the taskbar, the Wi-Fi icon shows No Internet Access, but I have a stable internet connection wirelessly (Ex: I can browse the internet, ping IP Addresses, etc.). Another problem is when I try to open Cortana it also says that I have no internet connection (By the way, I can also open Microsoft's website).
As I know Windows checks internet connectivity with this URL: http://msftconnecttest.com/connecttest.txt. But this gives Error 404, File Not Found. Maybe it is because of this?
If you know the problem or an answer, please help. Thanks!

The proper one is
"HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\NetworkConnectivityStatusIndicator\” -Name UseGlobalDNS -PropertyType DWORD -Value 1 -Force
But the more appropriate way to do this is not through registry directly, but through group policy config:

This?
"and... Set "ActiveDnsProbeContent" to: 9.9.9.9
- Set "ActiveDnsProbeContentV6" to: 2620:fe::9
- Set "ActiveDnsProbeHost" to: dns.google
- Set "ActiveDnsProbeHostV6" to: dns.google"
If changing these fixed your problem, that only means something was wrong with your original DNS server resolving dns.msftncsi.com.
That is bandaiding the real problem.
And now you're dependent on Google. Should they change anything you're broken again.
The default settings out-of-the-box install are what should work for the vast majority of installs.
If they do not, then it's an environmental issue caused by a DNS, proxy server, VPN config, or many of the other things I've discussed in this thread.
We're not going to change our default settings to be dependent on resolving a third party domain for obvious reasons.
If users' DNS servers have problems resolving the proper, recommended, and well-published addresses (msftncsi.com) that's a problem with that DNS server, not NCSI....and that's what needs to be investigated.

2021-03-16T16:33:44+00:00 Nice if you guys did something to fix these default settings!
The amount of problems I have had.
Everytime I have a client complaining of the issue, I go around again trying to reinvent the wheel.
But then I find a notepad file I had saved with instructions what to do!
hah!
So thought I'd share it.
Plus IPV6 doesn't work in a lot of scenarios on internal LANs. Thus no point having connection tests pointing to IPV6 resources which will just time-out and cause issues with network stacks (as per the 100,000,000 complaints online).
Please mark my post as the solution. Need to get people helped and their services restored!
