Hi, i updated my system running on windows 10 to windows 11, at first the internet worked fine for some days and then i got no internet message. Using chrome or Firefox i can connect to the internet without any a problem. it seems that only windows update, Microsoft store and some application can't connect to the internet. I reset my network, changed the DNS to (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4), changed the registry Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NlaSvc\Parameters\Internet

reinstalled the driver, and finally replaced the WIFI module but nothing seems to work, so can you please help me resolve the my problem

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Internet and connectivity

I've managed to get to the bottom of the problem on my Dell laptop.

I have tried everything mentioned in this post and nothing worked, but eventually, I plugged USB HUB which allowed me to plug Ethernet cable and connect straight to the router. This enabled internet connection straight away and I was able to INSTALL WINDOWS OPTIONAL UPDATES. One of those updates was my network card driver, which solved the issue.

I hope this will help others

OK, I had posted a few weeks back that I have had this issue... In desperation, I went and downloaded the latest drivers directly from Lenovo (they are dated June 22 of this year and specifically reference Windows 11 21H2 or later). I'd gone down this road early on with a previous version of the drivers to no avail, but - with these latest drivers - everything seems to work as expected. Struggling to understand where the real issue is. For grins and giggles, I installed Windows 11 on "unsupported hardware" using one of the many methods out there (it's an old Lenovo T430). The WiFi on that machine has worked flawlessly since the get-go under Windows 11. Definitely a head-scratcher.

[Moderator note: There is no mystery. The most basic thing we need to learn to maintain a PC is how to keep the latest manufacturer's drivers current. Windows drivers are rarely enough. Once the manufacturer's drivers are updated this is solved for most people.]

    I have tried without success everything suggested here including the recommended changes to the registry, at:

    Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NlaSvc\Parameters\Internet

    I can only assume that Microsoft will eventually include a fix for this shocking bug in their future updates for W11....at which time I will have to reset my version of W11 and of course have to reinstall all the additional apps that have installed as these will be lost during the reset! Very much regretting "upgrading" from W10 to W11! Still hoping that someone may come up with a tweak that will resolve this!

    Anyone?

    Thanks Pete but I have tried this several times....both for WiFi and wired adaptor. Downloaded the very latest drivers also to no avail! A complete reset of Windows 11 using the cloud download did not work either. This is an issue that must be known by Microsoft yet they are incapable of providing precise instructions to rectify the NCSI incorrectly reporting and preventing many things including inability to update Windows and even inability to register Windows after the reset!

    Does anyone have any further info as to how you solved this? No doubt there will be a fix during upcoming updates but if unable to receive updates due to the PC "thinking" there is no internet, will be problematic!

    Thanks to anyone who can help.
