To reset the network adapters on your device, use these steps:

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Click on Network & Internet.
  3. Click on Status.
  4. Under the "Change your network settings" section, click the Network reset option.
  5. Click the Reset now button.
  6. Click the Yes button.

After you complete the steps, the device will restart automatically, and on reboot, you should now be able to connect to the internet.

The tool will reset all the network adapters installed on your computer to their factory defaults, which means that you'll need to re-enter the password to connect to a wireless network, and you may need to reconfigure other networking software depending on your requirements.
