Registry editor:

Open- enableactiveprobingChange value data from 0 to 1
Ok and Restart the computer.
This removes a warning that does not mean what it claims to mean. It is a bad warning that end users should normally not see as it is false and confusing.

Doesn't that prevent Windows from probing a Microsoft server to check if the network connection has internet access? I imagine that would only not work as designed on user devices if they are on some kind of highly secure network that blocks that connection.

That would be the logical behavior, but I see this reported as offline while actively using streaming services and such. It's just flat out broken, so disabling it makes sense for many end users.

That's odd then, that I haven't seen it at all across tens of thousands of devices around the world using both Win10/11, Pro/Ent editions, both on corp networks and personal.
I can likely assume then, that if one is seeing this frequently, it may be some kind of isolated local issue. Possibly ISP related or some deeper underlying issue with your internal networking / firewalls.
I have seen it personally, but were cases where it's doing it's job. I sometimes connect to a Wi-Fi network that truly does not have internet access.

@Obsolesce We have seen it on both situations and it is annoying to be honest for end users.

Yeah I can definitely imagine that being annoying. If ya can't find or fix the the network or config issue, no choice other than to disable it on all the clients.
