Troubleshooting Guide: When Your Laptop Connects to Wi-Fi But Apps Fail to Work
It can be incredibly frustrating to connect your laptop to Wi-Fi, only to discover that applications linked to the Microsoft Store are not functioning properly. This is a common issue many users face, and understanding how to resolve it can save you time and stress.
The Problem
Although my laptop successfully connects to Wi-Fi, it indicates that there’s no Internet access for certain applications. Interestingly, while browsers like Chrome and Firefox, as well as games like Honkai: Star Rail and media applications such as Stremio operate without a hitch, others like Spotify and WhatsApp refuse to connect. It’s also peculiar that Windows updates seamlessly without any interruptions.
My Troubleshooting Attempts
In my effort to rectify the situation, I have tried several solutions:
- Reinstalling the Network Driver: Sometimes a simple reinstall can fix underlying driver issues that may be affecting connectivity.
- Resetting IP Configuration: A fresh start on the IP settings can often resolve connectivity glitches.
- Using Windows Update for Repair: I utilized Windows Update to ensure that any potential system errors were addressed with the latest repair versions.
- Additional Measures: I’ve explored a couple of other fixes, though I can’t quite recall every step I took.
Despite these attempts, the issue persists.
