The road to Windows 10 version 2004 (via the May 2020 Update) has been a bumpy one, with several bugs coming along for the ride. This is compounded by issues introduced in subsequent security updates. Case in point, there is a bug in this month's Patch Tuesday update that is breaking internet connectivity for some people.As spotted by Windows Latest, this is a bit of strange one because things are not as they appear. That is to say, affected users are being alerted to a connection issue that does not actually exist, by way of an incorrect “No Internet Access” message within the 'Network and Internet' settings on Windows 10.”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),” one of the complaints reads.For simple tasks like browsing the web, users can simply ignore the error and go about their usual business. However, it's not always as simple as that.The larger problem is that some apps apparently will not work if Windows reports there is an issue with the internet connection. Anecdotal evidence suggests these include Cortana, the Microsoft Store, and Spotify. So even though the internet connection is not actually broken, if Windows 10 thinks it is, some apps will assume it's true and not work properly.
