My hero. That's it I had to set it to 0.
Finally peace of mind.
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.

2024-08-28T17:04:40+00:00 Doing this for 2 years now, unplug and plug the cable back in. Windows 11 is a disaster. I might wrong, but the issue did not exist on Windows 10. That trick only works when booting initially and the screen is stuck waiting for an Internet connection, but does not solve the No internet connection on Windows and other MS apps like Outlook not working. Only a full reboot solves this for a day or two until it comes back.
It's almost 2 years since I have the issue as well, and I don't expect Microsoft to fix it at this point.
It seems related to a Microsoft account log in or server check that fails or just can't connect to MS servers and then flags the entire operating systems as not having an Internet connection. Which is of course false and not true, like others reported here, Internet works fine.
Like others mentioned, Outlook.com emails don't work in Outlook, but email accounts from non Microsoft servers work fine. Microsoft Store complaints there is No internet, so does any other Office 365. Tray icon and control panel says no internet either. The Internet works fine. Rebooting the system works for a while until it happens again.

2024-08-07T21:25:22+00:00 I found this solution on another website and it worked like a charm for me:
Open the registry editor (Windows key + R) and type in regedit.
Got to this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NlaSvc\Parameters\Internet
Click on "Internet" to open it. Find "EnableActiveProbing", double click it and change the Dword value from 0 to 1. Reboot and everything should work as expected.
If the Dvord is already set to 1, set it to 0 and reboot.
