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?

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Internet and connectivity

    May be Kris voisine knows how to solve this issue with Windows 10 ? Because on W10

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\NetworkConnectivityStatusIndicator]

    @=""

    "NoActiveProbe"=dword:00000000" no such value,

    Praise be to Allah. This WORKS for me, thank you so much, I hope you always have blessed day for you and all of your children and their children to the end of time. Thank you so much.

    I think the solution is a status in a register.

    Unfortunattely, on Windows 10 \NetworkConnectivityStatusIndicator, i don't have "NoActiveProbe" =.......
