Hey, I know you're onto Windows 11 now but I'm on Windows 7 and I'm having this problem where it says I'm connected to internet but I can't load anything that need Internet, the only thing I can load is chrome and even then its only new tab, no actual sites and I was just wondering if you knew how to fix it.
