Why Does Windows Say “No Internet” When Some Apps Still Work?

My Windows laptop sometimes labels the connection “No internet,” but a few apps continue loading new content while the browser fails or takes ages. It happens on both home Wi-Fi and a phone hotspot, so I’m not sure whether Windows is misreading the connection or something is interfering with specific traffic.

What would you check first to narrow this down? I’d like to understand what the Windows network status message actually tests, and how to tell a DNS problem from a flaky connection or an app-specific issue.
