You're having a great time browsing the internet when all of a sudden an error notice reading "No Internet, Secured" appears. Although the warning is strange and obscure, it is obvious that your internet connection has broken down. You are unable to download anything and web pages won't even load! What is happening? On a computer running Windows 10 or 11, fixing the problem is considerably easier than you may imagine.
What Does Even Mean "No Internet, Secured" Mean?
If you are unfamiliar with how your internet connection functions, this error message may be fairly perplexing to you. But when you think about it, it makes perfect sense.You see, there's no direct connection between your computer and the internet. In its place, the Wide Area Network (WAN) is served by a device like a network router. However, the router in your house also connects your computer to other devices there.
The Local Area Network (LAN) in question will continue to function even if something goes wrong with your internet connection.The status message "No Internet, Secured" simply indicates that you are not receiving any data even though your connection to the Wi-Fi router is stable and appropriately protected ("Secured").Inspect for network problems your ISP's internet connection being down is the most frequent cause of this error. That proves that you are not at blame and that nothing is wrong with you. If you can use a different device, such as your smartphone, to access the internet but not your Windows PC, the issue must be with your machine and not the internet connection.
Reset the ISP connection
Sometimes the Internet Service Provider (ISP) will reset your connection if you're utilizing fiber or DSL. The ISP determines the best method for you. You might provide a phone number, an app, or email assistance. Whatever method you choose, getting in touch with your ISP is an excellent place to start when trying to fix internet connectivity issues.
Check the Status of Your Connection.
Check to see
if your computer is linked to the right network if other devices other than
yours can access the internet. It's a little point, but before searching for a
solution, make sure you're connected to the correct Wi-Fi network.You
might have unintentionally joined a Wi-Fi network that isn't linked to the
internet. Maybe you have a GoPro that you forgot to turn off or a mobile
hotspot without a SIM card.
Disable any VPN software or connections.
Virtual private networks (VPNs) can make your internet browsing more private and secure. They might, however, occasionally interfere with the internet connection of your device. If your computer is running a VPN application, shut it down and see if the "No Internet, secured" message disappears.If VPNs are problematic or out-of-date, they may also
stop working. As a result, we advise updating and maintaining your VPN
application.
Restart your computer and router.
Unplug the
power from your router and let it sit without being plugged in for a few
minutes before handling your Windows machine. Reconnect the Wi-Fi router to the
wall outlet after that, then turn it back on. The "No Internet,
Secured" connection problem in the Windows system tray or notification
area can be fixed with this easy method.Reboot your PC while you're at
it. It won't harm you, and there's a potential that this will solve the problem
on its own.
Reset the network settings on your computer
Another option to fix the "No Internet, secured" error and other network-related problems is to reset your PC's internet settings to their default values.If Windows 11 is installed on your computer, click to options > Network & Internet > Advanced network options > Network reset and choose Reset now.Select Reset immediately under Settings > Network & Internet > Status > Network reset in Windows 10.Your machine will reboot following the network reset process. Check if you can access the internet by reconnecting your PC to the Wi-Fi network.
From WiFi to Ethernet, switch
This error only affects Wi-Fi connections, thus it might be an issue with the hardware or software that controls your Wi-Fi. Instead, try connecting the Windows 10 or 11 PC over Ethernet to the network. If the internet connection resumes functioning, the issue is most likely with the Wi-Fi hardware, network drivers, or installation of the Wi-Fi.
Activate the Windows Network Troubleshooter
Using Windows' network troubleshooter can help you quickly identify the source of a misconfiguration issue on your Windows computer. Go to Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters in Windows 11 and choose Run next to "Internet Connections." Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Status > Change your network settings on your Windows 10 computer, then choose Network troubleshooter. The network troubleshooter is also accessible through the Control Panel.Launch the Start Menu, type "Fix network problems" in the search bar, and then click "Open."To launch the troubleshooter, select Next.
Once the troubleshooter has diagnosed your PC, a
report will be displayed. If it can, it will inform you that issues were
discovered and fixed. Hopefully, this will fix the problem with your internet
connection. As an alternative, it might diagnose the issue but fall short of
offering a solution. You should further your troubleshooting efforts using that
information. Modify the network settingsWindows 10 and 11 connection issues may be temporarilyresolved by removing IPv6, despite Microsoft's recommendation against doing so.
Using the
Windows key and the X key, choose Network Connections. then page's bottom, click Advanced network settings.Select
More network adapter options (or Change adapter options in Windows 10) under
the "Related settings" section. The wireless network that is displaying the
error "No Internet, secured" should be double-clicked.To
access the wireless adapter settings, select Properties. In the connection properties window, uncheck
TCP/IP Version 6 (TCP/IPv6). To continue, keep the "Internet Protocol
Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" checkbox checked and click OK.If the error
still occurs or disabling IPv6 causes problems with other Windows components,
you should activate IPv6 again.
Refresh
This error is frequently brought on by issues with your PC's IP Configuration
and Flush DNS Cache. To quickly fix it, get the offending machine to relinquish
the IP address that the router has given it. Your computer will then merely
request a new IP address from the network, one that ideally has no conflicts.For
further details, see our tutorial on updating or renewing IP addresses in
Windows.Additionally, you should use the IPconfig tool via the Windows
Command Prompt or PowerShell to clear the DNS cache on your computer. Do this
to clear your DNS cache:
Make Computer Updates
Older versions of the Windows operating system have network-related issues. Install the most recent version of Windows that is compatible with your machine if you haven't updated it in a while.Select Check for updates or Install all by going to Settings > Windows Update (or Updates & security in Windows 10).
Revert the most recent Windows update
interestingly, this problem can also be brought on by a corrupt Windows update. It's difficult to determine whether this is just a case of problematic updates. Even so, there's no harm in reverting the most recent Windows update to see whether it affects anything or resolves the issue.
Select Uninstall updates from the "Related settings" box as you scroll down. Find the (most recent) update you believe is to blame for the "No Internet, secured" issue. To remove the update and restore your computer to an earlier version of Windows, select Uninstall.Go to Settings > Update & Security > Recovery > on Windows 10. Select Get Started in the earlier version of Windows 10.Everything ought to function normally once more if the issue was caused by your most recent Windows upgrade. Keep in mind that Windows does not permanently store the new recovery data. You might not be able to roll back the update if it has been a while since your last one. However, if the update wasn't made recently, it probably has nothing to do with your issue.
Reverting Network Drivers
Your network drivers may occasionally be updated by Windows, which can occasionally lead to problems. You can revert the driver for your Ethernet or Wi-Fi card to a stable version that was functional. For further details on how to roll back drivers in Windows, see our tutorial.
Reinstall or Update the Network Adapter Driver

The "No Internet Secured" problem could be resolved by updating the network adaptor on your PC.To open the Windows Run box, press the Windows key plus R. In the Run box, type or paste devmgmt.msc, then click OK or Enter. The Windows
Device Manager will then open.
