Fix: No Internet Secured Error in Windows 10

Here we’ve provided a couple of possible ways to fix this issue. Now, without getting further ado, let’s get into it.

Fix: No Internet Secured Error in Windows 10

Advertisements

1. Disable VPN Service

By disabling the VPN service (Virtual Private Network) on your computer or Wi-Fi router, you’ll be able to easily connect to the internet and start browsing the web. Sometimes a virtually connected network can cause security issues. If in case, your internet is connected but it’s not working, make sure to turn off the VPN service and try again to check for the issue. We assume this may fix the particular ‘No Internet, Secured’ error on your Windows 10.

However, if that doesn’t help you, try another method.

2. Refresh the IP Configuration

Well, refreshing or renewing the IP address on your computer can also fix multiple internet connectivity-related issues whatsoever. As the title suggests, executing a couple of commands on your Windows system will refresh the IP configuration if any glitch or cache causing it. To do that:

  • Click on the Start menu > Type Command Prompt and right-click on it from the search result.
  • Now, select Run as administrator > If prompted by UAC, click on Yes to proceed.
  • Once the Command Prompt window opens, type the following command and hit Enter:
ipconfig /release
  • Next, type the following command and press Enter again:
ipconfig /renew
  • Once done, restart your computer and check for the internet issue again.

3. Reset Winsock

The Winsock (Windows Sockets API) is a technical specification for the network and communication services of your computer. It’s also known as TCP/IP which indicates a standard interface between a Windows TCP/IP client application and the underlying TCP/IP protocol stack. So, resetting the Winsock can fix plenty of Windows 10 regarding networking issues. To do that:

  • Click on the Start menu > Type Command Prompt and right-click on it from the search result.
  • Now, select Run as administrator > If prompted by UAC, click on Yes to proceed.
  • Once the Command Prompt window opens, type the following command and hit Enter:
netsh winsock reset catalog
  • Once done, reboot your PC/Laptop and you’re good to go.
  • If your Windows 10 system doesn’t connect to the network automatically, just try connecting it manually. It should work.

However, if you’re not lucky enough this time, try another solution.

4. Check Internet Connection Properties

Well, it looks like there are some issues or misconfiguration with your PC’s internet connection properties. In that case, you should always check for it.

  • Click on the Wi-Fi icon from the bottom right side of your taskbar.
  • Then click on Network & Internet settings.
  • Under the Advanced network settings, click on Change adapter options.
  • Now, double-click on your connected network adapter.
  • Click on Properties > Now, you’ll have to ensure that all the following options are enabled or check-marked:
    • Client for Microsoft Networks
    • File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks
    • Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
    • Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)
    • Link-layer Topology Discovery Responder
  • If not enabled, click on the checkbox to enable all of them.
  • Once done, click on OK to save changes.
  • Finally, restart your computer to apply the changes.

5. Disable IPv6 Address

IPv6 is the most recent Internet Protocol version after IPv4. We mostly use the IPv4 address and if somehow the IPv6 is enabled on your Windows, make sure to turn it off. To do that:

  • Click on the Wi-Fi icon from the bottom right side of your taskbar.
  • Then click on Network & Internet settings.
  • Under the Advanced network settings, click on Change adapter options.
  • Now, double-click on your connected network adapter.
  • Click on Properties > Make sure to turn off or uncheck the Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) option.
  • Once done, click on OK and restart your computer.

6. Update the Network Driver

It can also possible that your network driver becomes outdated for a while on the Windows 10 device and that’s causing multiple internet connectivity issues like ‘No Internet, Secured’ Error in Windows 10. If you also think the same, just try checking for an update.

Note: As your internet connection isn’t working, try using a mobile hotspot on your computer temporarily to update the networking driver.

  1. Click on the Start menu > Type Device Manager and click on it from the search result.
  2. Once the Device Manager interface opens, double-click on the Network adapters.
  3. Right-click on the connected networking device > Select Update driver.
  4. Click on Search automatically for drivers.
  5. It’ll look for the driver update and you’ll be good to go.
  6. If there is an update available, your system will automatically download and install it.
  7. Finally, restart your computer and check for the issue again.

However, if this method doesn’t work for you, try one more step. Just Disable the networking device by following steps 1-3, and restart your PC. Finally, follow the same steps 1-3 and Enable the device.

7. Change Power Management Options

It can also possible that the ‘No Internet, Secured’ error in your Windows 10 is appearing due to improper power management settings. You should change the options.

  • Press the Windows + X keys to open a quick start menu.
  • Now, select Device Manager from the list.
  • Double-click on the Network adapters to expand the drop-down.
  • Then double-click on your wireless network > Click on the ‘Power Management’ tab.
  • Make sure to disable/uncheck the ‘Allow computer to turn off this device to save power’ option.
  • Finally, restart your computer and check if this solution worked for you or not.

8. Run Networking Troubleshooter

Still, the problem persists? If yes, try running the networking troubleshooter on Windows 10 system to cross-check the possible reasons and try repairing it automatically. To do this:

  • Click on the Start menu > Go to Settings.
  • Select Network & internet > Choose Network troubleshooter.
  • If it wants to select the adapter to diagnose then click on Wi-Fi.
  • Follow the on-screen prompts to proceed according to your issue.
  • In most cases, this troubleshooting method works like a charm.

However, if nothing works for you, make sure to send your desktop CPU or Laptop to a professional to look into the problem. It may possible that there is an issue with your networking board.
