While you are browsing the Internet, I came across an error message that suddenly popped up: "No secure internet" It is a strange and mysterious message, but what is clear is that your internet connection has stopped working and, therefore, you will not be able to open web pages, and you cannot download anything! What's going on?
It is much simpler than you think; keep reading the article to learn how to fix the error.
What does no secure internet mean?
Before explaining the phrase no safe internet, you should know how the Internet relates to your computer.
You know very well that the computer is not connected to the Internet directly, so how is it?
A device such as a network router passes information to a WAN outside your home. The computer is associated with a network of all the other devices served by the router in your home. It is known as a local area network (LAN).
The network will continue to function even if something goes wrong with your Internet connection.
So the error message No Internet Safe means that the WiFi connection to the router is good, encrypted, and secure enough.
However, the home router has no internet connection to the outside world. Hence, there is no Internet to solve this problem; We need to determine the exact cause of the Internet connection interruption.
Reasons and How to Fix No Secure Internet Error
If you are looking for a solution to the error message No secure Internet, we present to you the most common reasons for the appearance of this message:
1. It could be due to a power outage
The most common reason why the error No secure internet appears is that your internet connection from your ISP is down. But, again, it's not your fault, and nothing is wrong with you.
The easiest way to check this is to see if you have an internet connection through a different device on the same router.
For example, if you can access the web through your smartphone but not your Windows 10 PC, the problem should be with your PC rather than your Internet connection.
2. Reset your ISP connection
You can request a connection reset with your ISP using fiber or DSL. Each service provider has its way of resetting the connection.
For example, you might have an app, a support email address, or a phone number. The method you are asking for is an excellent first step if your internet connection has already failed.
Are you connected to the correct network?
Ensure you are associated with the correct WiFi before looking for a solution; You may have accidentally connected to a WiFi network that does not have an Internet connection.
3. Reset your router and computer
Before working on your Windows 10 PC, start by unplugging the router, leave it turned off for a few minutes, and then reconnect; In our experience, this simple trick solves most "Offline, secure" errors.
After that, please restart your computer. It can't hurt to give you a chance to solve a problem with No secure internet without putting in more effort.
4. Switch from WiFi to Ethernet
Since this error is related to WiFi, it could be a problem with the actual WiFi hardware or software; Try connecting your Windows 10 PC to the router via Ethernet instead.
If the Internet connection starts to work, this is a sign that the problem is either with WiFi hardware, network drivers, WiFi configured on the computer, or the router itself.
5. Run the network troubleshooter
If there is a misconfiguration issue on your Windows 10 PC, a quick way to get to the bottom of it is to use the Windows Network Troubleshooter. Here's the fastest way to do that:
- Open the Start menu.
- In the search bar, type search, and fix network problems.
- Once it appears, select it.
- Select Next to run the troubleshooter.
In this case, you should use this information to report troubleshooting.
6. Edit and renew your IP address and clear your DNS
IP address issues often cause this error. One quick way to solve this problem is to have the computer in question release the IP address assigned to it by the router.
For good measure, you should also clear your DNS cache. Again, the config utility does this through the Windows 10 command prompt.
7. Undo the latest Windows update
In some cases, Windows Update is the cause of the No Secure Internet issue; It's impossible to tell if this is just a case of intermittent problems associated with updates.
There is no harm in undoing the latest Windows update to see if it makes any difference and fix it.
The error, to undo the latest Windows update, here's what to do:
- Open the Start menu and select the gear icon to open Windows Settings.
- Next, select Update & Security.
- Select the Recovery tab.
- Look for Go back to the previous version of Windows 10.
- Select start.
- Now follow the instructions to complete the undo process.
Everything should work again if the recent Windows update was somehow related to the error.
Remember that Windows does not keep updating recovery data indefinitely, so if a long time has passed since your last update, you may not be able to undo the update.
However, if the update isn't recent, it isn't related to your problem.
Windows may update network drivers occasionally, which may cause problems. However, on rare occasions, you can roll back your WiFi or Ethernet card driver to the previous version working quickly.
