The Network Connection Status Icon [NCSI] shows the not-connected icon unless it gets the proper response from
www.msftconnecttest.com/connecttest.txt
so try going to that address manually in your browser.
You might get a security challenge about it not being an https site but that's not a problem.
Network Connection Status Icon - MSLearn
- If you do connect to it properly, you'll see a webpage that just contains the text
Microsoft Connect Test
So you'll know that the icon you are seeing indicates a local problem.
- If you do not see that page then that explains the icon you are seeing & you'll know that you have a networking problem.

Icon cache problems. This may help, but in my experience never been a complete solution. In recent versions of Windows 10 seems to be less of a problem.
