Wi-Fi says connected, no internet, but only on my laptop

Laptop shows full bars and 'No internet, secured'. My phone on the same Wi-Fi works fine, so the router seems OK. Restarted both already. What's worth trying next on the Windows side?
wifi connected internet

Forget the network and rejoin it first, that clears out a bad saved config surprisingly often. Have you got a VPN installed, even one you don't use? Those leave adapters behind that break things exactly like this. If that doesn't help, open Command Prompt as admin and run ipconfig /release, then ipconfig /renew, then ipconfig /flushdns. Last resort is Settings > Network & internet > Advanced network settings > Network reset, which reinstalls the adapters. You'll have to re-enter the Wi-Fi password afterwards.
