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.

    Only fix that worked for me was a windows reinstall. Sucks, but of all the things I tried, that's the only thing that worked.

    I re-installed my windows 11 twice now and even did a factory reset to my router. still no luck.
    tried several approaches and searched reddit, several websites and the microsoft answers forum but couldn't find anything that helped.

    Hi juliet. This takes me to the windows store and a pop-up window that tells me I'm not connected to the internet.

    I had the same issue. I tried many different ways and cannot get it to work. In the end, I reset Windows to the factory condition.

    The symptom was that my laptop was connected to the routers via WiFi, but Windows 11 complained no Internet access. It tried to test the Internet connection, but somehow the DNS client was not working. Ping with IP addresses worked. As a result, I can only use the laptap at home.
