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.]

    Well I gave up trying to sort this issue having wasted so much time and effort. I reinstalled W11 completely with a clean install from an iso on a USB stick. Totally and utterly back to normal with very latest version and updates.. All my important documents were saved to Onedrive so instantly restored. All apps were deleted but I quickly downloaded these again. Very happy bunny! :)

    I have a similar issue. Running windows 11 HP Pavillion lneaptop

    It will connect to my home network but then say "no Internet". This can be on startup, coming out of sleep or even during the day while actively using it.

    I have even tried adding a second USB ethernet adapter (TPLInk).

    I still have intermittent internet access and another 5-8 devices on the network operate just fine (including 2 windows 10 PCs.

    I have repeatedly tried the troubleshooter. It will often seem to trigger it working. However there are times where a few minutes after starting the PC the internet connectivity suddenly starts to work, so I wont give it credit for fixing the issue
