    >>Strange vpn is turn on, connection still there but automatically change the to globe on task bar.

    This is the root cause of the problem.

    What does VPN support say about this?

    Hi,

    The VPN connection might be blocking connection to the Microsoft servers which confirm the internet connectivity. See if this helps.
