Microsoft is investigating reports that Windows 10 is falsely suggesting users who have upgraded to the latest feature update aren\u2019t connected to the internet, despite them experiencing a stable connection.<\/p>\n

Bizarrely, this issue, which is being\u00a0widely reported online<\/a>, is also causing some desktop apps, such as Cortana and Feedback Hub, to break because these applications believe the device is not connected to the web, according to\u00a0<\/em>Windows Latest<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I am running on Windows 10 Enterprise, Version 2004, OS Build 19041.264,”\u00a0one user commented<\/a>. “I recently changed to the Windows Insider Program and updated Windows.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n“In the taskbar, the Wi-Fi icon shows No Internet Access, but I have a stable internet connection wirelessly (Ex: I can browse the internet, ping IP Addresses, etc.). Another problem is when I try to open Cortana it also says that I have no internet connection (By the way, I can also open Microsoft’s website).”<\/p>\n

The bug manifests as the Wi-Fi icon to the bottom-right of the icon tray incorrectly displaying a \u2018No Internet Access\u2019 message. While users are still able to browse the internet, as normal, a host of apps seemingly rely on this status message in order to establish connections, with software such as Spotify and even the Microsoft Store failing to reach their servers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Microsoft is aware of the Network Connectivity Status Indicator (NCSI) issue,\u00a0according to a contract worker<\/a>\u00a0posting on a Microsoft forum, but the bug hasn\u2019t yet been resolved.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Most users experiencing the issue have complained only after upgrading to version 2004, also known as the May 2020 Update.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is simply the latest in a string of minor, and major, issues that have arisen after Microsoft first launched its major May 2020 Update. This update, in the first instance, was initially delayed\u00a0after the last-minute discovery of a zero-day flaw<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Microsoft subsequently warned users against installing the May 2020 update\u00a0until a set of other issues were resolved<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Several issues have since come to light including\u00a0incompatibility problems with certain Lenovo devices<\/a>, as well as a\u00a0Google Chrome flaw<\/a>\u00a0whereby the web browser logs users out of their accounts and wipes stored information such as cookies and passwords. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
