How to Fix No Internet Secured Error on Windows
The 'No Internet, Secured' error appears when Windows connects to WiFi but cannot access the internet. This typically indicates a DNS, IP configuration, or network adapter issue that blocks internet traffic while maintaining the WiFi connection.
- Restart your network adapter. Right-click the WiFi icon in the system tray and select 'Open Network & Internet settings'. Click 'Change adapter options'. Right-click your WiFi adapter and select 'Disable', wait 10 seconds, then right-click again and select 'Enable'.
- Reset your network settings. Open Command Prompt as administrator by pressing Windows key + X and selecting 'Windows Terminal (Admin)'. Run these commands in order: 'ipconfig /release', 'ipconfig /flushdns', 'ipconfig /renew', then 'netsh winsock reset'. Restart your computer after completing all commands.
- Change your DNS servers. Go to Settings > Network & Internet > WiFi > Hardware properties. Click 'Edit' next to DNS server assignment. Select 'Manual', toggle on IPv4, and enter 8.8.8.8 as preferred DNS and 8.8.4.4 as alternate DNS. Click Save.
- Run the network troubleshooter. Open Settings and navigate to Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters. Click 'Internet Connections' and select 'Run the troubleshooter'. Follow the on-screen prompts and apply any recommended fixes automatically.
- Update your network adapter driver. Press Windows key + X and select 'Device Manager'. Expand 'Network adapters', right-click your WiFi adapter, and select 'Update driver'. Choose 'Search automatically for drivers' and let Windows install any available updates. Restart your computer if prompted.
- Reset TCP/IP stack. Open Command Prompt as administrator and run 'netsh int ip reset'. This command resets your TCP/IP stack to default settings. Restart your computer immediately after running this command to complete the reset process.
