Key notes
Sometimes, you will see that your computer says everything is fine, but, at the same time, it just cannot recognize whether there is any internet connection.
If you’re lucky, internet access for some websites will work normally, but this will be short-lived. You need to get to the root cause of the problem and address it f you want a working and stable connection.
Why does my PC say no internet, but secured?
How do I fix no internet, secured on Windows 11?
Start off with the following preliminary checks:
1. Run network troubleshooters
2. Disable your antivirus temporarily
3. Update your Network driver
Outbyte Driver Updater
4. Reinstall your Network drivers
5. Scan for viruses
6. Disable your VPN
7. Disable your Proxy
8. Downgrade your network band
Giving your PC more bandwidth is usually better to get the best possible performance from your network. But for very old PCs that can’t handle the higher speed, you might want to consider downgrading for optimal performance.
9. Disable IPV6
10. Reset TCP
11. Perform a Network reset
12. Perform a System Restore
This should be a last resort if all the above steps fail. It will come in handy if you had a corrupt update or your PC has failed to recover from a malware infection.
