I've got WiFi and it shows that I'm connected and secured, but whenever I try to access a website, it just says 'No internet.' YouTube doesn't give me that message, but it also won't load. I've gone through some troubleshooting steps like flushing my DNS, renewing it, and restarting everything, including my modem. Nothing seems to work. I recently encountered a Microsoft prompt with an error that said 'continue' or 'quit,' and after trying 'continue' multiple times without success, I quit and restarted. That seemed to trigger this issue. Can someone offer some help?

I had a similar issue once, and it turned out that simply toggling my proxy settings fixed it. I turned it off, then back on and suddenly everything started working. It might be worth checking if your proxy settings are causing the problem. It’s confusing, but sometimes the system just acts up like that!
Are you up to date on your Wi-Fi driver? Sometimes outdated drivers can lead to connectivity problems, especially after a Windows update. You might want to check the version of Windows 11 you're using as well (like version 24H2) to make sure everything's current. If there was a recent update, it could have messed with your drivers a bit too.
How do I check for driver updates?

I think this happens sometimes when the settings get out of sync. Glad you figured it out!
