#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : Hotel or guest Wi-Fi sign-in page never appears Fix : Restore the connectivity check itself Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/win-net-captive Run as : Elevated PowerShell Expect : 10 minutes Risk : low Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX Every network shows "No internet" even when it clearly works -- a policy has disabled the check. HOW TO UNDO IT Recreate NoActiveProbe as a DWORD of 1 if it was set deliberately for a disconnected network. This script walks the fix one step at a time and asks before each one. Steps with no command are things you do yourself -- it prints those and waits. Run with -DryRun to print without executing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- NO WARRANTY - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK This script is provided by JbTecWiz as-is and with no warranty of any kind, express or implied.
