How to Reconfigure G Network Settings on Windows
Resetting your network settings is a practical, low-risk first step to fix stubborn connectivity issues in Windows 10 and Windows 11. By returning network components to their defaults, you clear misconfigurations that can block access to the internet, re-create proper adapter configurations, and often restore normal network behavior without affecting other system settings.
Why Reconfigure G Network Settings?
If someone has configured a VPN or proxy settings and those settings are interfering with your work, a network reset can erase those items to fix your problem. You may want to bring your network settings to the defaults if you're switching networks and want to start fresh. Resetting your network settings can also resolve persistent connectivity problems by restoring your network configuration to its factory defaults.
Steps to Reconfigure G Network Settings
- Start menu > Settings > Network & Internet > Advanced network settings > Network reset.
- Resetting removes all network adapters, so check and reconfigure any VPN or proxy settings afterward.
- Resetting changes all network components back to their original factory settings, like Winsock and TCP/IP.
How to Reset Network Settings in Windows 11
To perform the network reset process on Windows 11, launch Settings by pressing Windows + i. Navigate to Network & Internet > Advanced network settings > Network reset. This will remove and reinstall all network adapters and reset networking components to the default state, including your saved Wi-Fi networks, Bluetooth pairings, and any custom DNS or IP settings.
