    Hello tushar,

    You might see if resetting the notification area icons may help if it's just a graphics glitch.

    I suggest you post a screenshot of the screen when you see that ! icon.

    Try and update your Network adapter driver in Device Manager.
    If you get "best driver installed" you might consider deleting the adapter and rebooting,
    so Windows can re-detect it.
    That's all that was needed when my system displayed "no internet" and yet I could surf
    and download just fine.

    Do you mean the yellow warning triangle over the network icon in the "Notification area" / "System tray"?

    That network icon is called the Network Connection Status icon and it has never been thought of as reliable. It might be that MS have once again changed the internet address that gets checked for that icon decision to be made** but, since your Windows is not fully up to date, yours is still querying the old location. I've just found a note that the address change happened in Windows 10 version 1607.

    ** The NCSI is shown if there is no connection to the www address that Windows checks. It does not check internet connectivity in general, it just checks one specific address.

    By the way, the icons have now changed [version 1903]. Perhaps after you update you will find that the new icons work better [Wi-Fi connection icons and what they mean - Windows Help].

    tushar,

    If you haven't already, you might see if resetting the network adapters using the method below, and then making sure you have the latest network drivers installed for them may help.

    Can you go to the test page in your browser?
    www.msftconnecttest.com/connecttest.txt

    The page just contains the words, "Microsoft Connect Test".
