That is not my experience and you can't just imagine number like that.

I am currently on basic OS install without anything in between and it doesn't work. I just switched from home router to my phone's hotspot and its the same.

It seems its not only Windows problem. Viber desktop has exclamation icon and it will persist until it is restarted, Mattermost works, Signal works etc.

BTW, didnt know proxy is exotic, its literrary the norm in the company.

What happens when you try to load http://www.msftncsi.com/ncsi.txt or http://www.msftconnecttest.com/connecttest.txt ?

If they don't load for you you probably modified your install with shutup10, block microsoft domains using your firewall or /etc/hosts or something else and you're out of support.

I can access those files, like I said

    Microsoft NCSI

I had this on number of Windows computers, private and corporate. Almost all of them don't have anything like OSU10, simplefirewall etc.

Honestly I've never seen the issue you described on any windows machine on any network anywhere.

I've seen this problem pop in randomly; like having three identically configured VMs, two work fine and in third causing trouble. Good luck finding out why.

"Exotic" network config, like having the default hyper-v adapter present? That one, that windows creates automatically once you enable hyper-v?

Mate, you live in a bubble (as everyone else). There are over a billion Windows PCs out there, how many of them do you think have hyper-v enabled? Keep in mind that even among the small minority of users who have a hypervisor installed VirtualBox, VmWare and Qemu are a lot more popular than hyper-v.

Keep in mind, that these do require Hyper-V nowadays. Especially if your Windows 10/11 has virtualization-based security enabled (mandatory in 11); then using Hyper-V is the only way to virtualize anything.

Hyper-V is also requirement for WSL2.

So given this, Hyper-V might be enabled on a good chunk of these billion PCs.

It's not that Hyper-V would be my first choice either. But it is not exotic configuration at all, and the fact that it is a first party product which breaks this makes it even weirder.

Exactly.

It might be bubble compared to entire planet, but its still pretty big bubble. Once you have hundreed K users, you should have responsibility to deliver.

Especially becasue people in that bubble are those moving the others forward.
