What is a Windows issue encounted just a couple of days ago: Windows
10 thinks there is no internet connection, but there is. Chrome and
other internet program work fine, but Windows shows the little yellow
exclamation mark and "no internet" in the system tray. Newly-installed
Office 365 (installed over the "no internet" connection) can't phone
home because Windows thinks there is no internet, even though there is,
and threatens to shutter in a few days. Computer owner is bouncing off
the walls because "Microsoft is not working."

In other words, just another typical day in the big city working with
crap Microsoft products.

This wasn't my computer, thank goodness, because I haven't used
Microsoft's garbage on my own systems in over 20 years. (Of course there
is plenty of crap to be found in FOSS but at least it's crap you don't
have to pay for.)
