Add me to the list of people having the same problem: My Windows 11 laptop connects to the internet via wifi or ethernet just fine, then about five seconds later, the icon changes to the globe with the "no" circle over it and the text reads "No internet access" despite still having a decent connection and being able to use the internet just fine.
Like others, once that status changes, I cannot use Windows update or most Windows products, along with some other software (like the EA app)--all of which thinks I'm disconnected from the Internet. It's really hindering my productivity and forcing me to use other machines to do my work.
I've spent about a week trying to resolve this issue. I've watched a hundred YouTube videos and tried every reg edit, network reset, driver update, windows 11 reinstall...I even replaced my laptop wifi card. Nothing has fixed the error. I've also tried resetting my own router and playing with its settings, but as this happens no matter what network I'm connecting to--home, hotspot, work, coffee shop--it doesn't seem to be an issue with my router or home network.
I'm on an ASUS Tuf Gaming A17 laptop, and I have noticed that several people encountering the same issue are also on ASUS laptops, but I've seen enough on other systems to make me think it's not the type of laptop. Also, it should be noted that both my daughters are on ASUS laptops but with older versions of Windows--neither is having the same problem I'm having.
At this point, I feel like it has to be a Windows 11 issue. I wish I could find out for sure and if someone at Microsoft is aware and a fix is on the way. Ironically, this issue is keeping me from using Microsoft products more than any other software.
I'll keep checking this page--if anyone finds a solution, please post it here. I will do the same if I find anything. Thanks.
