Windows 10 refuses to connect to the internet.
Windows 10 refuses to connect to the internet.
Hello, your connection appears stable on the network, but Windows 10 blocks internet access in the task bar. You didn’t notice this issue until you attempted a hotspot using a USB antenna for your phone. It seems Windows restricts such actions unless it detects an active internet connection. IP testing might be restricted in certain settings—check your firewall or network policies for any restrictions.
I checked using ipconfig and found a default gateway that responds in under 10ms. Previously, I connected via 192.168.0.1, but now the local network is hard to reach and the gateway has changed.
Connect to your router and test the internet connection. Send a ping to 8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1, 8.8.4.4 or any public IP you have, and confirm if it responds.
They function properly, actually I’m currently using the computer here. Nonetheless, I still see the small alert indicating "No internet access."
The meaning is clear: "Réseau" refers to a network, and "Pas" indicates absence.
Typically the icon points to DNS issues. If it can't resolve requests, it will show 'connected but no Internet' because you get an IP but can't access external sites. Are you using any special DNS configurations such as Pihole? You might also set it manually in your adapter, for example using 1.1.1.1 if you can run commands like 'nslookup google.com 1.1.1.1' and see a response.
