Windows 10: Your connection is not private. Will installing a new WiFi driver fix this?

I've tried a number of fixes but the red x on the tray is still there, and about 75 percent of websites are blocked. Help?

Wifi Fix.

Hi,

Thank your for posting on Microsoft Communities.

Good to know that the issue is fixed. Appreciate your efforts.

In future if you face any issues with Wireless connections, I suggest you to un-install and re-install wireless card drivers and check. Follow the steps:

I would suggest you to un-install and re-install wireless card
driver and check. Follow the steps.

• Press Windows key + X.
• Select Device Manager.
• Expand Network adaptor.

Right click on the wireless card driver and click on Un-install.

Now go to the manufacturer website of your
wireless card or computer and install the latest drivers for your
wireless card and check.

Hope it helps.

 

Need to make network connections private

Again it is irrelevant where you are trying to setup a Bridged connection and why you want it. You need to concentrate on following the steps that the OP gave you and if you do not see those choices, that means that either Wifi got disabled in the bios, or the device and driver got removed from Device Manager somehow.

If you can fix the hardware and get the screen that you are showing, that is the very first thing the OP needs. Once you get to that, then it is easy to walk you through the rest of the way and use your laptop to bridge the incoming Wifi out to other devices that you want to connect your laptop to.
