    Hello,

    Try to disable NCSI (Network Connectivity Status Indicator) from Group Policy and check the result. Enable theTurn off Windows Network Connectivity Status Indicator active testsunder below GP location: Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\ Internet Communication Management

    Click Start, type CMD and run as administrator

    -Copy and paste each of the commands below and hit enter.

    netsh int ip reset

    netsh advfirewall reset

    netsh winsock reset

    ipconfig /flushdns

    ipconfig /release

    ipconfig /renew

    Once you entered all those commands restart your computer and try to connect.

    If issue persist, let's download the updated network driver to check.
