Are you experiencing network issues on your Windows 10 computer? Have you tried troubleshooting to no avail? If so, then resetting your entire network settings might be the solution you need. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to reset your entire network on Windows 10.
Firstly, we will try to run the built-in network troubleshooter. Simply open the Start menu, type in “settings,” click on the “Networking & Internet” section, and scroll down on the right side to find “Narrow Troubleshooter – Diagnose and fix network problems.” Let it run, and see if it figures out the issue.
If the troubleshooter didn’t work, you can try flushing the DNS. Open the Start menu, type in “CMD,” right-click on it, and left-click on “Run as administrator.” Once in the command prompt, type in “ipconfig /flushdns” and hit enter. Then type in “netsh winsock reset” and hit enter. This should successfully reset the windsock catalog, but you must restart the computer to complete the reset.
If you’re still having problems, then a network reset might be necessary. This will remove and reinstall all your network adapters and other networking components back to their original settings. Simply go to “Settings,” click on “Network & Internet,” scroll down and click on “Network reset.” A prompt will appear asking if you want to reset your network settings. Click on “Yes,” and your PC will be restarted.
Keep in mind that resetting your entire network will disable and reinstall all network adapters and components to their original settings. You might need to reinstall networking software afterward, such as VPN client software or virtual switches. Also, resetting will forget your Ethernet network and any Wi-Fi networks and passwords, as well as any additional connections on your computer such as VPN networks or virtual switches.
In conclusion, resetting your entire network on Windows 10 can be an effective solution to network issues. Try the built-in troubleshooter and flushing the DNS first, and if all else fails, reset your network. We hope this tutorial helps you resolve any network problems you may be facing on your Windows 10 computer.
