Windows 11 network shows "connected no internet access" but I am online, can connect to most websites, but some win apps think I'm offline and do not work

Over the past few days my win 11 PC network connection started showing connected but no internet access status. I can get online and access most websites, but some windows apps like Spotify thinks I am offline and will not work. I think this may have happened after the most recent Win update. Have run network troubleshooter and rebooted my modem with no effect. See several references to this issue in Win 10 but nothing for Win 11., Very frustrating and would love to hear some possible fixes from the community.

    My hero. That's it I had to set it to 0.

    Finally peace of mind.

    I have yet to find a permanent solution, however what works for me when it is an issue is open command prompt, run

    ipconfig /release

    and then

    ipconfig /renew

    Brings the tray icon back to connected and my desktop apps function appropriately.

    What works for me, but is no solution:
    when connecting my smartphone via usb (because my motherboard does not have wifi) and use it as modem instead of my AVM FritzBox EVERYTHING works as you'd expect.
    Login, downloading stuff, starting games from gamepass, … and that very quick!

    But i will neither download Forza Horizon using mobile data not plug my phone everytime I wanna play something that requires me to log into microsoft apps.

    I then tried from opening ports (TCP: 53, 80, 3074; UDP: 53, 88, 500, 3074, 3544, 4500, exposed hosts, to UPnP … nothing did the trick for me.

    And I have no clue how my local setup differs from my mobile data connection.

    Having spoken to a number of PC repair agents, all say the same, it is quite widespread ever since one of the H2 updates several months back and issue not been resolved, they all say same advice, roll back or restore..
