Article ID: 000058935 Content Type: Troubleshooting Last Reviewed: 09/19/2022 No Internet Access When Connected (Affects Ethernet and/or Wi-Fi)BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT Summary How to fix an issue when the system is unable to use the Internet even though it appears to be connected through either Wi-Fi or Ethernet Description Some users may encounter an issue where they are unable to use the Internet even though they appear to be connected through either Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Restarting the computer will, in some cases, fix the problem temporarily. These updates have removed entries from the Windows® 10 registry, which instructed the operating system to release used ports when all ports are exhausted. Ports are a list of finite virtual numbers that are necessary for any network connection. If all ports are open and not released, this creates the effect of being connected to an Internet connection without the operating system having the ability to open new ports. Applications and services that were already connected may or may not continue to function, at least partially, while the user is unable to browse the Internet or connect to anything else. Resolution
On Windows 1803 or earlier and some builds of Windows 10 1809 the registry fix below can resolve this problem by replacing these registry entries. Here is a step-by-step guide:
If the issue returns, future updates of Windows may overwrite these changes. Unfortunately, the best remedy will be to re-input these registry keys if you find that they are missing with future updates. If you have followed all of the troubleshooting steps above and are still experiencing issues, contact support. Make sure you include a diagnostic so that we can analyze your specific situation appropriately.

Give FeedbackDisclaimerWhy does my computer say no internet when connected to Ethernet?Check the Ethernet cable and connection.
Make sure the Ethernet cable is securely plugged into the Ethernet port on both your router and Windows 10 PC. On your router, make sure the Ethernet cable is plugged into the correct Ethernet port—not the Internet port that's used to connect your modem and router.
Why does Windows 10 show no internet access but connected?If your Windows 10 is losing WiFi signal strength and says "No Internet Connection" while other devices are connected just fine, chances are, DHCP Server didn't hand your Windows Device a valid IP address.
Why is my internet working with Ethernet but not WiFi?If you're having trouble connecting to WiFi, but Ethernet is working, you might be dealing with a less common WiFi issue. To resolve this issue, turn off the router before powering it on again. If this doesn't do the trick, consider resetting the router to its default settings.
Why do I have no internet access but connected?If all your devices get no internet connection, yet your WiFi indicator is still on, the most obvious answer is that your internet provider has an outage. Before you start rebooting and shuffling wires around, it's always a good idea to check this first.
