subkey to the registry<\/a>. This subkey contains information related to the settings of the program, the options, the values for the hardware running that service, how to start it, its location, version, etc.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWe mess up the registry when we remove programs manually. In the most basic sense, it\u2019s like deleting a program from the Program Files folder. We\u2019ve removed all the data related to the program, and all the files necessary for running it, but we haven\u2019t erased the settings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
So, when we install the same program again, there\u2019s going to be a conflict within the registry. This is one way an issue can happen. However, there are plenty of other reasons we can encounter registry-related bugs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Other reasons this issue persists might be related to our device\u2019s IP address. There are other hardware-related issues, and there are issues related to any damage on the cables if you have a cable connection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Fixing No Internet Access But Internet Works<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Now that we understand why in Windows 10 the icon shows there\u2019s no internet access, but the internet works, we can go about solving this inconvenience. There are four things we can do to solve the issue. We can do a network reset, we can run the troubleshooter, we can tweak the registry, and we can flush the DNS and renew the IP address.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Windows 10 network reset<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Sometimes all we need to do is reset the network on our Windows 10 device. A simple reset can resolve many issues. The first thing we need to do is click on the Start button<\/strong> and go to Settings<\/strong>. Once there, we need to access Network & Internet<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAfter that, we can see the Status <\/strong>of our network. We need to scroll down and locate the blue button that says Network reset<\/strong>. After clicking on the button, you\u2019ll see a grey Reset now<\/strong> button. Click on it, and all the network adapters will be reinstalled on your operating system.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nOnce Windows finishes the setup, it\u2019s going to restart your device, and all the network settings will be back to their original state. Don\u2019t worry, all your other system settings will remain intact.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Windows 10 troubleshooter<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Another great fix is the troubleshooting feature of Windows 10. We just need to follow the same steps, go to the Start menu<\/strong>, open Settings<\/strong>, and access Network & Internet<\/strong>. Once we get there, we can see the network status.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nScroll down to Advanced network settings<\/strong> and locate the Network troubleshooter<\/strong>. It should be the third icon from the top. Click on it, and go through the troubleshooting steps until you reach a solution. This should take care of the inconvenience.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWindows 10 registry edit<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThis is a little more complex, so we used a list of the steps you need to take to get the job done. This is the most likely solution to the bug. However, if you have the latest Windows update, everything should be taken care of. If you don\u2019t, follow these steps:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\nClick on the Search box<\/strong>, and type regedit<\/strong>.<\/li>\r\nClick on the Registry Editor<\/strong> that appears as the first result of the search.<\/li>\r\nOnce it opens, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE<\/strong>.<\/li>\r\nFrom there, you need to click on SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet <\/strong>> Services <\/strong>> NlaSvc <\/strong>> Parameters <\/strong>> Internet<\/strong>.<\/li>\r\nDouble-click on ActiveDnsProbeContent<\/strong> and make sure that 8.8.4.4 is the appropriate value.<\/li>\r\nFor ActiveDnsProbeContentV6<\/strong> make sure 2001:4860:4860::8844<\/strong> is the value.<\/li>\r\nThe ActiveDnsProbeHost<\/strong> should be dns.google<\/strong>.<\/li>\r\nAssign the dns.google<\/strong> value to ActiveDnsProbeHostV6<\/strong> as well.<\/li>\r\nThe ActiveDnsWebProbeHostV6<\/strong> should be www.msftconnecttest.com<\/strong>.<\/li>\r\nEnableActiveProbing<\/strong> should have a value of 1<\/strong>.<\/li>\r\nRestart your device.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWindows 10 network commands<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Another thing we can do is simply use the Command Prompt to reset the TCP\/IP, flush the DNS, and renew the IP. We need to type cmd <\/strong>into the search box<\/strong>. Right-click on the Command Prompt<\/strong> and Run as administrator<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nOnce the command prompt opens, type these commands and press Enter <\/strong>for each command. Type netsh winsock reset<\/strong>, netsh int ip reset<\/strong>, ipconfig\/release<\/strong>, ipconfig\/renew<\/strong>, and ipconfig\/flushdns<\/strong>. Everything should work properly once you finish the process.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nConclusion<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n We know what causes Windows 10 to show no internet access but the internet works, and we know how we can fix it. If it doesn\u2019t work, you can contact Microsoft\u2019s support and see if they can help you get it figured out.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
