got my new PC assembled today and when I came back home and connected to my Wi-Fi it got connected and internet is working but it shows “Action Needed, No Internet” though I can access web only and other stuffs like the windows update and Microsoft store app updates says no internet connection. How to fix it my OS is Windows 11 Pro OEM.

Not able to find anything good to resolve the issue.

    Hi,

    Nice to meet you! I'm Randy, an Independent Advisor.

    A quick way to fix this "Action needed, No Internet" issue is to reset Windows’ network stack, since sometimes the built-in internet check gets stuck even though browsing works. To do this, open Command Prompt as Administrator and run these commands one by one: netsh winsock reset, netsh int ip reset, ipconfig /release, ipconfig /renew, and ipconfig /flushdns. After running them, restart your PC this clears out old or corrupted network settings and forces Windows to recheck the connection properly.

    Since this is a new PC build, let me also ask:

    Did you install the latest network adapter driver from your motherboard manufacturer’s site, or are you using the one Windows auto-installed?

    Are you seeing this issue on all Wi-Fi networks, or just your home Wi-Fi?

    Kind regards,

    That happens sometimes when Windows shows a false “no internet” status even though the connection works. Try resetting the network settings

    (Settings -Network & Internet -Advanced network settings - Network reset).

    Also check that your network adapter drivers are up to date from Device Manager. A lot of people fix it by flushing DNS too, just run ipconfig /flushdns in Command Prompt.
