It stands for \u201cCompletely Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, after ticking the small box, you\u2019ll have to solve a short visual or audio test to gain access to the website you want to visit, submit a form, or use a specific feature.<\/p>\n<p>These days, Google uses a more advanced iteration of reCAPTCHA that doesn&#8217;t require users to go through a visual or audio test initially.<\/p>\n<p>The service returns a score to websites, ranking whether the request is coming from a human or a bot.<\/p>\n<p>Websites can then require a lower version of the reCAPTCHA process, prompting you to identify images or use audio to verify you&#8217;re not a robot.<\/p>\n<h2>reCAPTCHA Not Working<\/h2>\n<p>The reCAPTCHA service isn\u2019t problem-free. Sometimes, it fails to work in Google Chrome or other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/what-is-the-best-internet-browser\/\">browsers<\/a>. It may appear as usual but quickly fade away, and access to the website or feature is still not granted.\u00a0 Other independent CAPTCHA services may also not work on your computer sometimes and show similar malfunctions.<\/p>\n<p>Reloading the website in such a situation may resolve the problem.

The solutions that follow will show you the proper steps to take.<\/p>\n<h3>Solution 1: Update your browser<\/h3>\n<p>It is always recommended that you update your browser, whether you use Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Opera, or Microsoft Edge. Updates enhance the browser&#8217;s security, fix bugs, improve critical functions, and optimize general performance. Updates are also used to deploy new software dependencies to support features such as CAPTCHA. We\u2019ll be showing you how to solve the CAPTCHA problem by updating your browser.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here is how to update Google Chrome:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Launch the Chrome browser and click the three-dot menu icon at the top right corner to display its settings.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Select <em>Help &gt; About Google Chrome<\/em> to open the <em>About Chrome<\/em>\u00a0page.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Auslogics-BoostSpeed-13.webp\" alt=\"Select <em>Help &gt; About Google Chrome<\/em> to open the <em>About Chrome<\/em> page \" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Chrome will automatically check if there are any updates available.

It can also arrive via emails when you open infected links or images.<\/p>\n<p>Some browser extensions could also be designed to hide malware threats, such as adware, browser hijackers, and Trojans, which get injected into your PC without your knowledge. So, before you proceed, it\u2019s advisable to scan your PC for malware to ensure it\u2019s not causing the reCAPTCHA problem. You can use Windows Security, the free antivirus provided by Microsoft for Windows operating systems.<\/p>\n<p>Here is how to do so:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Go to the Start menu, type <em>virus,<\/em> and select <em>Virus &amp; Threat Protection.<\/em><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Click <em>Scan options<\/em>, select <em>Full Scan<\/em>, and click the <em>Scan Now<\/em> button.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Windows-10-Full-Security-Scan.webp\" alt=\"Click <em>Scan options<\/em>, select <em>Full Scan<\/em>, and click the <em>Scan Now<\/em> button\" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">The security program will now run the deep scan, checking for malicious applications and activities in various areas of your computer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/windows-10-prevents-antivirus-installation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Windows Security<\/a> detects any threats, it will quarantine them to let you analyze and remove them from your machine. Once the scan is complete and you\u2019ve removed any existing malware, restart your computer and reload the browser that caused the reCAPTCHA issue. If the error is still there, it could be due to network problems.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cta-block cta-block_native top\" data-cta-type=\"native\" data-cta-position=\"middle\">\r\n\t<div class=\"cta-block__top\">PRO TIP<\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"cta-block__text_native\">We recommend an advanced security program like  <a href=\"\/en\/software\/anti-malware\/after-download\/\">Auslogics Anti-Malware<\/a>  for a more comprehensive scan.<\/p>\n<p>This malware remover is more thorough than most regular antivirus software applications and is designed to detect malicious items that your main antivirus application may miss.

Some users said that resetting their IP address helped resolve the reCAPTCHA issue.<\/p>\n<p>Follow these steps to reset your IP address:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">To open an elevated Command Prompt, press the <code>Win + R<\/code> shortcut, type <em>CMD<\/em> into the <em>Run <\/em>dialog box, and press the <code>Ctrl + Shift + Enter<\/code> shortcut.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">In the Command Prompt (Administrator) window, type or paste the command lines below one after the other and press <em>Enter<\/em>\u00a0after each one:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<pre style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">netsh winsock reset \r\nnetsh int ip reset \r\nipconfig \/release \r\nipconfig \/renew<\/pre>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Once all the commands have been executed successfully, open any browser and check if the reCAPTCHA feature is working again.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b>\ud83d\udccc Also read: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/fix-windows-has-detected-ip-address-conflict\/\">[FIXED] \u201cWindows Has Detected an IP Address Conflict\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Solution 4: Create a new user profile<\/h3>\n<p>A corrupted browser profile could also trigger the issue in question. We\u2019ll show you how to create a new user profile in your browser to fix this.<\/p>\n<p><b>For Chrome users:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">If Chrome is open, exit it completely and close any related processes in Task Manager.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Launch File Explorer by pressing the <code>Win + E<\/code> shortcut and browse to this path: <em>%LOCALAPPDATA%\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\<\/em>. Alternatively, open the <em>Run<\/em> box (Win + R), paste the path into the text box, and press <em>Enter<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Under the <em>User Data<\/em> folder, locate the <em>Default<\/em> folder, right-click it, and select <em>Rename<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Assign it an appropriate name, such as <em>Default Old<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Restart Chrome.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The browser will create a new <em>Default<\/em>\u00a0folder, creating a new user profile. The process above helps if you\u2019re not signed into Chrome. If you\u2019re signed in, Chrome saves most of your browsing data to your Google Account, while other data, such as website cache, are saved locally. You can switch to a local profile by launching Chrome, clicking the profile icon, selecting Add, and clicking \u201cContinue without an account.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Create-a-New-User-Profile.webp\" alt=\"Create a New User Profile\" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<p><b>For Microsoft Edge users:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Click on the three dots to open the menu, and select <em>Settings<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">On the <em>Settings<\/em> page, click on the <em>+ Add profile<\/em> option at the top and then click on the blue <em>Add<\/em>\u00a0button in the pop-up window.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Add-a-profile-on-a-browser.webp\" alt=\"Add a profile on a browser\" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">You can sign in to sync data or continue without signing in.
