The second is because both the Windows 10 2004 update (which is the May 2020 Update) and some following patches have some errors.
The last one of these errors is a Windows 10 bug that prevents the updated computer from using the internet. What it does is, it prevents some applications from connecting to the internet.
There are users who report that they can use the web browser to surf the net although the network icon of Windows 10 warns that there is no connection. In addition, others warn that they can browse, but when using some applications the warning appears that there is no connection.
The reason is that what has been broken is the link of Windows 10 with the server that indicates whether or not there is a connection at the system level, which allows the Internet to be used in certain browsers, but that some apps that are linked they cannot connect to said API.
