Fixed: error code 0x800c0005 – Your computer is not connected to the Internet

When a native or 3rd party task fails after downloading files, Windows displays the error code 0x800c0005. The error code has been reported to occur on Xbox One as well. It is usually caused by a failure related to several Dynamic Link Library (.DDL) files.

There will be no patches for 45 Netgear routers that are vulnerable to RCE. The vulnerability was first disclosed in June and affects 45 routers. 45 router models are outside of Netgear’s security support period and will not receive fixes. Proof-of-concept exploit code has been released for the stack buffer overflow vulnerability.

Even if you have an active Internet connection, you still see the error message, “Your computer is not connected to the Internet, OneDrive (error code 0x800c0005).” In most cases, this error occurs when a built-in or third-party task is completed during the download of a file. It appears that corruption.DDL files are causing the problem.

While this is the main reason, there are other causes for the OneDrive error code: 0x800c0005, “Your computer is not connected to the Internet” can be caused by corrupt temporary folders in Windows Update, problematic third-party antivirus software, if NAT (Network Address Translation) is closed, if DNS conflicts, or if there is an issue with temporary files on the Xbox One.

If you go to Windows 10 Settings and then navigate to Update and Security, an error message suddenly appears that says, “Your PC isn’t connected to the internet”. To get started, connect to the Internet and try again. Now that you must already be connected to the Internet, how come Windows doesn’t recognize it and, more importantly, how to solve this annoying problem, we will of course discuss all of this shortly. The error is not limited to the Windows 10 Settings application, as you may encounter a similar error when trying to access the Windows App Store.

Here’s what you need to know about solving the problem. Whatever it might be, it’s not impossible.

What causes error code 0x800c0005 “Your computer is not connected to the Internet”

This error message with a lengthy description and the code 0x800c0005 keeps popping up when trying to install .NET Framework 4, on my PC running Windows 10. I cannot fix this error and I need the Framework installed as soon as possible. If anyone could suggest a way for me to do this, that would be great.

Dynamic Link Library Park Problem: If you see this error code when trying to install a version of the .NET Framework or when trying to update your Onedrive application, you’re probably dealing with multiple DDL files that are not registered correctly. In this case, you may be able to resolve the issue by re-registering the files from the raised CMD line.

Interference from a third-party firewall: It turns out that this problem may well be caused by an over-protected AV package blocking the connection to an external server, which causes the error. In this case, try removing the firewall and see if the error code disappears.

Xbox One Temporary File Problem: If you encounter this error on your Xbox One (when launching a game), you may be dealing with some kind of inconsistency in the temporary file. In this case, you need to run a power cycle.

Windows Update mismatch: If you see this error when trying to update a native component through Windows Update, chances are that you are dealing with some corruption rooted in the temporary files. In this case, you may be able to resolve the problem by resetting all affected WU services and deleting the SoftwareDistribution and CatRoot2 folders.

Inconsistent DNS: If you see this error code when trying to create a game on Xbox One or through the Xbox app (on Windows 10), you’re probably dealing with inconsistent DNS. If this scenario applies, you should switch to the Google DNS equivalent and see if that solves the problem for you.

NAT is closed: On PCs and Xbox One, this error code may occur because network address translation (NAT) is closed. In this case, you can solve the problem by enabling UPnP in your router settings or by manually punching the necessary ports.

6. The Task Manager should be closed.
7. You will need to click OK to restart your computer once you have selected the Startup tab of the System Configuration dialog box.

Ask your administrator to remove the restrictions

Having problems connecting to your company’s network may be the reason for the error message when using OneDrive for Business.

To connect to Windows update servers, you need to make sure your firewall isn’t blocking the internet connection. If you are in a large corporation and running your computer under a network firewall, you need to contact your network administrator for help. Navigate to firewall and see if “HTTPS data transfer” is enabled.

The system administrator at your company should be able to determine if your OneDrive connection is restricted or if any blocking has been implemented.

OneDrive Business can be accessed online once any restrictions have been removed.

Disable OneDrive Personal (for corporate networks)

OneDrive Personal can cause an error if it is used on a corporate network in conjunction with an Active Directory account. If you are accessing OneDrive Personal remotely over an enterprise network, you will be prohibited from logging in.

Personal OneDrive accounts on corporate networks are not allowed to connect to the Internet because it is automatically assumed that the system is not connected to the Internet. The best thing to do in this case is to refuse to use OneDrive Personal on corporate networks.
