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 notice you're using an ASUF TUF for laptop, I;m using a desktop ASUS TUF. Yet the issue is resolved for me. Come on Microsoft this is a weird one.

    I am new to Windows 11, and mine is set up with a sign in. I am traveling for the first time since getting this laptop, tried to sign in and it won't let me without internet. I tried to log into my hotel internet from the icon in the lower right, and it let me choose the hotel wifi but won't let me do their login. How do I bypass the laptop sign in and get to the settings?
