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

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.

I tries it and ot said it couldn't find a file for it. What am I meant to do now?

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.

Just a few additional remarks.

I'm experiencing the systray icon problem when my Norton VPN is on. If I turn the VPN off, the icon resumes its "normal" aspect.

Using the ipconfig /release when the VPN is ON, is not a good idea. You get the right icon, but you lose the Internet connection (that really made me laugh).

I'm just hoping that others with this problem will read through to the end of this thread before trying all the time-consuming and often fruitless possibilities. My PC is a recent Asus laptop (wireless Realtek 8821CE) and I've had BT problems and now this, but I couldn't say exactly where the problem lies: MS, Realtek/Asus or Norton. I just wish we could bill them for the time we waste.

Since I'm able to access all the Internet services that I need, this problem is "apparently cosmetic" for me. I hope it gets fixed by the culprit for the sake of others.

I am also seeing this issue, but on multiple Windows 11 Pro computers in the office. They do not have Norton and they are not using a VPN. I have not seen this issue with any Windows 10 computers but seems to be wide-spread with 11. When this happens no Microsoft products that need internet connection work properly. I have users that need to connect to their email through Chrome because Edge and Outlook think they are offline.

This is an issue that Microsoft needs to fix, they broke it and are well aware of it. It's pretty bad when I can connect to a computer remotely (not through a VPN) and then not be able to use Microsoft programs because I am "Offline." Can't be offline if I connected through the internet. :)

A solution or fix would be nice, Microsoft!!!

Thanks,
