thanks for sharing I will give a try
About your hypothesis : after diisabling the network (in anyway), the system should try to probe again the network (Network Connectvity Indicatr Status) and the issue should disappear ?

Windows 11 update is not working saying "We couldn't connect to the update service. We'll try again later, or you can check now. If it still doesn't work, make sure you're connected to the Internet." (I checked and the windows update service is running), I tried the windows troubleshooter for network and internet and it says "Looks like you aren't connected to the internet." but all apps and browsers connect to internet fine. Today I tried a repair install of the new 23H2 update from the ISO and no luck with that, the troubleshooter and windows update still say no connection to internet. What now?

2024-11-18T10:53:33+00:00 Have tried all the aforementioned suggestions and all to no avail. Whatever has caused this issue has without doubt been caused by MS updates as only had the issue since returning from holiday and laptop installed a multitude of system updates - Everything operating fine day I left and laptop stayed at home unused!
Come on MS let’s have an answer to this now!

Another frustrated MS user!

It should do so but for whatever reason, it doesn't work for me.
What I am able to replicate in my instance is that as long as I wait till it shows 'Connected' on the main login screen (without clicking or hitting any keys at all), it'll not have this issue.
Clicking and bringing up the password/ pin prompt will seem to stop this process - it'll be stuck on having 'No Internet' for whatever reason.
I'm not entirely keen on reinstalling Windows but there may come a time that I'll do so - probably when upgrading my system drive to a larger capacity.

2024-12-03T15:40:44+00:00 Thank you for your reply. I tried the other fix from another person, and that had no effect either. I think I can live with it. I just hate feeling alarmed that my internet is not working, but it is. Perhaps they will fix something in the next big upgrade. I can't imagine they don't know about the issue. Happy Holidays!
