You're experiencing conflicting internet status across different apps. This can happen due to app-specific settings or network prioritization. Check your device's network preferences, ensure Wi-Fi is enabled, and verify if any background apps are interfering. Let me know if you need further help!
Ensure your IP and DNS configurations match their static values (or are DHCP-enabled) if applicable. If unsure, run "ipconfig /renew" via cmd to update DHCP settings. Consider downloading updated network drivers on another device, transferring them via USB or DVD to your PC, and installing them. Test with a different Ethernet cable and verify the connection at the other end. You might also try using a laptop to determine if the issue lies with your PC alone.
They likely rely on a similar service as Windows Update for managing updates.
