[German<\/a>]Strange behavior: Windows 10 reports, that no Internet connection is available. However, users can surf the Internet with a web browser and viee web pages without any problems.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"Blog reader Martin U. drew my attention to the problem, which I take up in this blog post, by mail with the subject Internet despite the display \"No Internet\" in WIN10 (thanks for that).<\/p>\n

'No Internet' error message, although surfing works<\/h2>\n

Background is this Microsoft Answers forum thread<\/a> from January 30, 2020, where a user writes:<\/p>\n

DNS manually assigned – now win10 thinks there's no internet. But it works while surfing.<\/p>\n

As soon as I enter manual DNS server addresses in the IP4 protocol of the network adapter, WIN10 believes after restarting that there is no internet connection.<\/p>\n

Bottom right globe with prohibition sign. Spotify reports offline etc. But I can surf the internet very fast with all browsers.<\/p>\n

I set the DNS server address back to automatic, restart, Internet is displayed and everything works.<\/p>\n

The manual DNS servers are much faster, so I would like to use them.<\/p>\n

My question. Why does WIN10 claim that there is no internet with manual DNS servers or how does it recognize manual DNS addresses?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The user was a bit perplexed at this point and asked if anyone else had a trick \/ tip for him.<\/p>\n

Blame a Registry entry<\/h2>\n

In the forum thread, the user later reported and suspected that probably a registry entry in the key:<\/p>\n

Computer\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\
\nServices\\NlaSvc\\Parameters\\Internet<\/p>\n

will cause this behavior. And on January 29, 2020 there was a resolution that the DWORD value EnableActiveProbing = 0<\/em> was set. This deactivated the respective test of Windows on manually set DNS addresses.<\/p>\n

When the registry value was set to EnableActiveProbing = 1<\/em>, manual DSN server addresses could be entered after a restart and the Internet display worked again. Maybe it helps someone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
