Hey there,
The Amazon Appstore and related services aren't connected to the internet even though I'm online. When I launch the appstore, a warning appears saying "VirtWifi has no internet access," but clicking it doesn't do anything. Need some help with this issue?

Details: i7-10870H, 32GB RAM, RTX 3070, 1TB SSD (HP Omen 15), Windows 11 (Build 22000.376). I'm part of the Windows Insider Beta program.

I noticed that turning off the Windows firewall resolves the problem, even though it’s not a long-term fix I’m confident about. I don’t have a clear idea of what’s being blocked, and nothing in the firewall applications list seems suspicious, but this might help someone find the right guidance.

I'm facing the same problem too, and turning off the Windows firewall didn't help either before or after rebooting.

Same problem encountered again. Attempted to modify firewall settings, remove antivirus software, switch adapter, and adjust WSA DNS. It functions properly only when connected via work VPN.

Disable the Windows Subsystem for Android in the WSFA preferences. After that, reboot any application you're currently using.

This didn't function for me yet, but others might find success by trying certain steps. Some recommended actions included removing programs, searching for Android subsystem, and clicking "repair." A workaround that helped them was using "setenforce 0" to disable SELinux enforcement. For rooting, a custom WSA version is required. Links provided cover Magisk installation and Android subsystem setup via Magisk. Disabling Windows location settings or enforcing group policy/firewall rules can also resolve issues, though it may affect security settings.

You're facing the same issue again. You've installed the Android subsystem for Windows on two different machines, but both are experiencing a lack of internet connection via VirtWiFi.

Linux and Android systems aren't currently working well with third-party DNS or DNS proxies like Acrylic. The same issue appears with Linux subsystems and Docker, see more details here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6419...0xffffffff. Turning off the Acrylic DNS proxy resolved half of my problem—it stopped the subsystem from crashing and fixed the Wi-Fi issue. Download the "Hidden Settings" APK from Google Play, load it while side loading... https://apkpure.com/hidden-settings-for-...densetting. Change your DNS to your local router's DNS or preferred provider (like Google/Cloudflare). You can check your default gateway by typing "ipconfig /all" in the command line. This solution helped me! The Android subsystem was using an incorrect DNS address and wasn't forwarding it properly to the adapter or router. With "hidden settings," it stopped requiring location data enabled (as seen in Windows) so it could connect automatically via VirtualWiFi, possibly identifying the right IP/DNS subnets for your gateway. Enabling location data might resolve this.
