The issue is related to the way Windows determines the internet connection status of a device. Windows sends a request to a Microsoft server when connected to a network, and if the server responds, the device is considered to have normal internet access. If there is no response, Windows shows "No Internet access". Microsoft made changes to the server in a version update, causing some people to have connection issues. The solution is to save and merge the provided code as a .reg file and restart the computer.

Problem Cause#

The appearance of "Network Connection Status" is related to the way Windows determines the current device's internet connection status.

When a computer is connected to a wired or wireless network, Windows sends a request to a specific Microsoft server. If the server successfully receives the request, it will return a value to confirm that the "device already has normal network access"; if Windows does not receive the value returned by the Microsoft server after the request, it will be judged as "No Internet Access".

Microsoft modified this server in a version update, causing some people to not be able to connect, so we just need to change it back!

Solution#

First, save the following code as a reg file, then merge and restart to apply the changes

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NlaSvc\Parameters\Internet]

"ActiveWebProbeContent"="Microsoft NCSI"
"ActiveWebProbeContentV6"="Microsoft NCSI"
"ActiveWebProbeHost"="www.msftncsi.com"
"ActiveWebProbeHostV6"="ipv6.msftncsi.com"
"ActiveWebProbePath"="ncsi.txt"
"ActiveWebProbePathV6"="ncsi.txt"

"EnableActiveProbing"=dword:00000001
