  • Click on the Settings icon (gear icon) on the left side to access the Settings
  • From there, click on Network & Internet
  • Another way to access these settings is by right-clicking on the little monitor icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen and choosing "Open Network & Internet Settings."
  • At the bottom of the page, choose Network reset
  • You will be notified of what a network reset does

Your PC will restart after this. As you can see, your network adapters will be removed and then reinstalled, and networking components will be restored to their original settings.
