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

Anonymous

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.

Windows 11 Home

10.0.22621 Build 22621

Dell Inspirion 3670 x64

Intel Core i3-9100 CPU @ 3.60GHz, 3600 Mhz, 4 Cores

Hi Juliet,

I had similar issue this week on my Win11 laptop, and your post helped me quickly resolve the issue.

Thank you!

Are you using and virus protection or firewall? If so, try uninstalling it temporarily and then reboot just to isolate that as a potential cause.

Running "wsreset.exe" just pops up the Microsoft app store.
