  1. First of all, press the Windows key once and type “troubleshoot”. Now, select the “Troubleshoot Settings” option from the search results.

Reset Network Settings

  1. Finally, if none of the above methods work for you, then you need to reset the entire network from Windows Settings. Press the Windows key once, and open the “network reset” settings page.

  2. Here, click on “Reset Now,” and Windows 10 will remove all the configurations for DNS, DHCP, VPN, virtual switches, network adapters, and more. After that, it will automatically re-install all the configurations and protocols to their default settings. It will likely fix your network connection woes on Windows 10, including SSL Certificate Error on Chrome.
