On my home PC, websites and online services work normally over both Wi‑Fi and Ethernet, but the Windows 11 Settings app reports that there is no internet connection. Because of that, I can't sign in, use Windows Update, or access other Settings features that require connectivity. I recently reinstalled Windows while keeping my files and manually installed updates, but the problem has continued. I've also disabled and re-enabled the network drivers, flushed the IP configuration, and reset the network settings several times. Windows identifies the connection as "Connected, no internet."

Does Windows detect the Ethernet cable or Wi‑Fi connection itself, or does it show the adapter as disconnected? If it says “Connected, no internet” while browsers work, the connection is probably fine and Windows’ connectivity detection is what’s failing rather than your actual internet access.
Yes, Windows detects the connection. It specifically reports “Connected, no internet,” even though browsing and other online programs work normally.
