How to Reset Network Settings on Windows 11
Resetting network settings on Windows 11 can often resolve internet connectivity problems and other network-related issues. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
1. Open the Settings app by pressing Win + I on your keyboard.
2. Click on ‘Network & internet’ in the sidebar of the Settings menu.
3. Scroll down to find ‘Advanced network settings’ and click on it.
4. Under ‘More settings’, click on ‘Network reset’.
5. You will see the ‘Network reset’ screen that provides information about what will happen when you reset your network settings. Read this information to understand that this process will remove all network adapters and set other networking components back to their original settings.
6. Click the ‘Reset now’ button when you are ready to proceed.
7. A confirmation dialog box will appear, asking if you’re sure you want to reset your network settings. Click ‘Yes’ to confirm.

Remember, when you reset your network settings, any saved Wi-Fi passwords, VPN connections, Ethernet connections, and other network preferences will be erased. After resetting your network settings, you’ll need to reconnect to your Wi-Fi network and reconfigure any other network connection settings according to your preferences.
