Windows 10: How to reset network settings in Windows 10

This can help solve connection problems you might have after upgrading from a previous version of Windows to Windows 10. It can also help to fix the problem where you can connect to the internet, but can't connect to shared network drives. Network reset removes any network adapters you have installed and the settings for them. After your PC restarts, any network adapters are reinstalled, and the settings for them are set to the defaults.

Note: To use network reset, your PC must be running Windows 10 Version 1607 or later. To see which version of Windows 10 your device is currently running, select the Start button, then select Settings > System > About.

Step 1: Select the Start button, then select Settings> Network & Internet > Status > Network reset.











Step 2: On the Network reset screen, select Reset now > Yes to confirm.








Then Windows will give you 5 minutes to close all documents and programs before it automatically restart. You can do the restart yourself to save time.
