In this guide, we&#8217;ll walk you through a series of troubleshooting steps designed to get you back online quickly. Let&#8217;s dive into the solutions to reconnect you to the world.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is the &#8220;Can&#8217;t Connect to This Network&#8221; Error on Windows?<\/h2>\n<p>\nThis common hiccup occurs when your system tries, but fails, to join an available Wi-Fi network, leaving you stranded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/why-is-your-internet-not-working-even-though-its-connected\/\">without an internet connection<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The frustration is real, whether it impacts your work deadlines, streaming quality, or simply your ability to stay connected.<\/p>\n<p>If you get this error, you&#8217;re just getting informed that you can&#8217;t connect to the network. You are not told why or what you can do about it.<\/p>\n<p>This is why many users get frustrated in this situation. But don&#8217;t worry; we will highlight some of the reasons and solutions.\n<\/p>\n<h2>Why Won&#8217;t My Computer Connect to the Internet<\/h2>\n<p>\nSo, why does your PC say that it can&#8217;t connect to this network? There could be several reasons for the error.\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Improper connection.<\/b> If your PC wasn&#8217;t correctly connected to the network, you can face this issue during a subsequent connection attempt.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Driver issues.<\/b> Your computer&#8217;s network adapter uses a network driver to maintain communications with the wireless router or hotspot. If the driver is missing, corrupt, out of date, or disabled, the system may be unable to connect to the Internet.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Network settings.<\/b> Any number of misconfigured network settings can trigger this issue. For example, your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/prevent-wi-fi-not-working-with-a-vpn\/\">VPN <\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/fix-dns-server-might-be-unavailable\/\">DNS <\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/fix-there-is-something-wrong-with-the-proxy-server-win10\/\">proxy <\/a> settings may be incorrect.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nNow that you&#8217;re aware of the possible causes of the problem, you&#8217;re one step closer to finding a solution. Let&#8217;s move on to what to do when your Windows PC can&#8217;t connect to a network.\n<\/p>\n<h2>How to Fix the &#8220;Can&#8217;t Connect to This Network&#8221; Error on Windows 10\/11?<\/h2>\n<p>\nPerhaps you recently upgraded Windows and now facing the connection problems. You&#8217;ve come to the right place. We present the most effective ways to resolve the issue and restore the network connection.\n<\/p>\n<h3>Fix 1: Restart your computer<\/h3>\n<p>\nSometimes, with Windows issues, the simplest solution actually works. In this case, that would be to simply reboot the computer and hope that fixes the issue. It could be that all the system needs is a little memory rejig to get up and running again. In any case, if it works, you&#8217;ll have nothing to lose and lots of time and effort to gain. So reboot the machine and try to connect to the Wi-Fi. If you cannot do so, move on to the next fix.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>Also Read:<\/strong><a class=\"post-item__header-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/keyboard-magic-how-to-shut-down-restart-or-put-windows-pc-to-sleep-with-a-keyboard\/\">Keyboard Magic: How to Shut Down, Restart, or Put Windows PC to Sleep with a Keyboard<\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>Fix 2: Forget the network<\/h3>\n<p>\nIf rebooting the system doesn&#8217;t work, rebooting the Wi-Fi network might. One way to eliminate this error is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/delete-saved-wi-fi-network\/\">to forget the network <\/a> is having problems and reconnect. Sometimes, the saved network&#8217;s data becomes corrupted, which must be cleared before it can work again. Forgetting the network does this so you can make a fresh connection. <b>On Windows 10:<\/b>\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Right-click the network icon on the taskbar and select <em>Open Network &amp; Internet<\/em> settings.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Select <em>Wi-Fi<\/em> under <em>Network &amp; Internet<\/em> on the left navigation pane.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">On the Wi-Fi screen, click the <em>Manage known networks <\/em>link.<\/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\/2024\/04\/3fix2.png\" alt=\"On the Wi-Fi screen, click the <em>Manage known networks <\/em>link \" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">On the next screen, you will see all the Wi-Fi networks ever used on the computer.

When you enable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/fix-airplane-mode-problems-in-win-10\/\">airplane mode<\/a>, all wireless and mobile comms are disabled. Once you disable it again, there&#8217;s a chance the problematic wireless connection will start working. Most laptop and desktop keyboards have a dedicated key to toggle airplane mode on and off. Press that key, wait for a minute, and then press it again to turn off airplane mode. You can also use Windows to toggle the mode on and off. Simply click the network icon on the taskbar and select airplane mode from the expanded menu. Click it again to turn it off and re-enable the wireless connection. If that still doesn&#8217;t solve the issue, try another fix.\n<\/p>\n<h3>Fix 4: Try the network troubleshooter<\/h3>\n<p>\nThere&#8217;s a chance that an underlying problem is preventing your system from connecting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/fix-windows-10-wi-fi-not-connecting\/\">to the Wi-Fi network<\/a>. It can be hard to isolate the specific cause and so the network troubleshooter can come in handy. This is an inbuilt tool for finding and solving connection issues.

The installed network driver communicates between the operating system and the installed network card. If the driver requires an update, is faulty, or is missing, it can cause issues. The system will always have a network driver because the driver is necessary for the network to work on your computer. This means that if you uninstall the faulty driver, Windows will reinstall the proper driver once you reboot the machine.

I\u2019m Valeria, and I am an SEO specialist and tech writer for the Auslogics Tech Wisdom Blog. Although I don\u2019t have a formal tech education, I\u2019ve always been a tech enthusiast, passionate about exploring and learning new things, whether it\u2019s through travel, books, or the latest technologies. I stay updated with the latest news, ideas, and opportunities, with my go-to sources being the Search Engine Journal and TechRadar. Naturally, this passion, backed by my background in marketing and my curiosity, led me to the Auslogics Blog, where I combine my love for marketing and writing as an SEO and tech writer. I pride myself on my ability to explain complex tech concepts in understandable language for readers even without technical expertise. With over 5 years of experience in SEO and more than 2 years in tech writing, I specialize in guides on security, PC optimization, and resolving all sorts of Windows issues. This is why the \u201cHow To\u201d section of the Auslogics Blog is my favorite.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/valeriia-burmatskaia-dos-santos\/"],"knowsAbout":["Search Engine Optimization (SEO)","Content Strategy","Copywriting","Windows","Technology","Social Media","Digital Trends","Digital Security"],"knowsLanguage":["English","Portuguese"],"jobTitle":"SEO Specialist & Tech Writer","worksFor":"Auslogics","url":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/author\/valeria-burmatskaya\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35709","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/71"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35709"}],"version-history":[{"count":39,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35709\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":97105,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35709\/revisions\/97105"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59363"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35709"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35709"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35709"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
