Network Icon Says No Internet Access, but I Am Connected [Tutorial]

If after you upgrade or update your Windows 10 and you notice that the Network Connectivity Status Indicator (NCSI) on the notification area/system tray on the right end of the Taskbar indicates no internet connection, then this post is intended to help you.

Users have been reporting that a dreaded yellow triangle would appear on the system tray annoyingly reporting that they have No Internet Access. The error will appear when your device is connected to your internet device correctly but it would seem like Windows 10 cannot connect to the internet.

This issue is different from the internet connectivity issues that caused problems for VPN users. Despite Windows 10 informing users that their internet connection is down, it does in fact exactly as it should. As Windows 10 problems go, this is a minor one.
