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:

2020-11-09T15:23:56+00:00 That article on Cisco Umbrella refers to an issue that the GlobalDNS policy corrects. If your problem is truly from active probe failing to route outbound on the wire due to loopback DNS filter installed by Umbrella (or various other products do this like F5 BigIP agents, many others), then setting this policy will fix it. If it doesn't help it means there is a different problem.
Most commonly active probe failures are due to either DNS resolution, routing, or proxy interaction. Network captures can help in this regard (look for msftconnecttest.com).
Microsoft/Windows/NCSI/Operational events can also help in diagnosing these issues.
