Hello,
The problem is that the network icon in the taskbar is showing a globe with a no signal icon, meaning that it is not detecting that there is, in fact, internet. I am 100% able to use the internet on this computer, but for some reason, the computer is unable to detect that it has internet.
I have been dealing with this since January and I still have not found a solution. I have a new desktop that I use for gaming and college. I got all the parts in December and made it. There was no internet problem until January.
I have reinstalled my network drivers, tried troubleshooting (it would recommend a network reset which I have done multiple times), tried wired and wireless connection, moving my computer, creating a new user, reinstalling windows, and I using commands with command prompt.
I am using windows 10 education (because it was free from my college store). I am using a wired connection, and I have tried using a usb wireless adapter.
I have no idea what to do anymore. It isn’t bad that this is happening, but I cannot update windows, download Apex Legends launcher, use spotify, or use Word because these applications think I am offline. I am typing this on my computer while playing an online game. I just wish I could actually use spotify, play games that I want to try, and use Word for my college work.
This only affects my computer and no one else’s device in the house, and I live with 4 other people. I would appreciate any help, even if it does not work. I am really getting tired of this.
Edit: Clarification of the problem.
