The world was cut off from our village last week after the storms due to
floods. Worse, the power to one of the green cabinets went down and it
took 4 days for OR to connect us again.

I spent the time switching between being tethered to the mobile and
checking if the landline was back up. As a consequence the Internet icon
on my desktop was the globe covered in a fishing net and a tooltip saying
"no Internet".

Once the Internet was back the desktop connected fine and all was working
except for Windows update which decided that I wasn't connected to the
Internet so wouldn't even look for updates. After two days fiddling the
proper Internet icon appeared on the taskbar whereupon Windows updated
itself.

I should probably have just re-booted but I'm interested to know how
Windows checks whether of not there is Internet access. Email & browser
(neither MSFT) were perfectly happy but not the OS.

Any thoughts?

Well, the first thought that came to mind is that Windows being bad at
networking is not any sort of surprise to me.

How does a gender neutral bog differ from a unisex bog ?
It has a non-binary number on the door.
