Windows reset netsh winsock reset

A wired Ethernet connection lets you get a fast internet connection—plug one end of the Ethernet cable into your router at home, then plug the other end into the Ethernet port on your Windows PC. (If your PC doesn’t have an Ethernet port but you want to try this option, you might consider getting a USB to Ethernet adapter.)

If you’re using an Ethernet connection and can’t connect to the internet, there are a few things you can try to try to fix the problem and get connected.

On your home router

Try these things first to help you fix or narrow down the connection problem.

  • Check the Ethernet cable and connection. Make sure the Ethernet cable is securely plugged into the Ethernet port on both your router and Windows 11 PC. On your router, make sure the Ethernet cable is plugged into the correct Ethernet port—not the Internet port that’s used to connect your modem and router.

    If one Ethernet cable doesn’t work and you have another one nearby, try the other Ethernet cable to see if that works. If it does, it might be a problem with the first cable.

  • Restart your modem and wireless router. This helps create a new connection to your internet service provider (ISP). When you do this, everyone that is connected to your Wi-Fi network will be temporarily disconnected. The steps you take to restart your modem and router can vary, but here are the general steps.

Note: If you have a cable modem/Wi-Fi router combo device, you only need to follow the steps for the single device.

  1. Unplug the power cable for the router from the power source.

  2. Unplug the power cable for the modem from the power source.  

    Some modems have a backup battery. If you unplug the modem and lights stay on, remove the battery from the modem.

  3. Wait at least 30 seconds or so.

    If you had to remove the battery from the modem, put it back in.

  4. Plug the modem back into the power source. The lights on the modem will blink. Wait for them to stop blinking.

  5. Plug your router back into the power source.

    Wait a few minutes for the modem and router to fully power on. You can usually tell when they’re ready by looking at the status lights on the two devices.

  6. On your PC, try to connect again using the Ethernet connection.

On your PC

  • Check the network status in Settings. Open Settings > Network & internet. Check your Ethernet connection status at the top of the screen. Make sure it says Connected underneath the network connection name. If there’s an error, such as one that says Action needed, select Ethernet to view your Ethernet connection settings.

    If one Ethernet cable doesn’t work and you have another one nearby, try the other Ethernet cable to see if that works. If it does, it might be a problem with the first cable.

  • Connect to Wi-Fi instead. If your router is a Wi-Fi router, try to connect to Wi-Fi and see if you can get connected. This can do two things—help you get an internet connection and help you narrow down the source of the problem. For more info, see Connect to a Wi-Fi network in Windows.

  • Run network commands. Try running these network commands to manually reset the TCP/IP stack, release and renew the IP address, and flush and reset the DNS client resolver cache:

  1. Select Search on the taskbar, type Command prompt. The Command Prompt button will appear. To the right of it, select Run as administrator Yes.

  2. At the command prompt, run the following commands in the listed order, and then check to see if that fixes your connection problem:

    • Type netsh winsock reset and select Enter.

    • Type netsh int ip reset and select Enter.

    • Type ipconfig /release and select Enter.

    • Type ipconfig /renew and select Enter.

    • Type ipconfig /flushdns and select Enter.

  • Uninstall the Ethernet network adapter driver and restart. If the previous steps didn’t work, try to uninstall the network adapter driver, and then restart your computer. Windows will automatically install the latest driver. Consider this approach if your network connection stopped working properly after a recent update.

    Before uninstalling, make sure you have drivers available as a backup. Visit the PC manufacturer’s website and download the latest network adapter driver from there. If your PC can’t connect to the internet, you’ll need to download a driver on a different PC and save it to a USB flash drive so you can install the driver on your PC. You’ll need to know the PC manufacturer and model name or number.

  1. Select Search on the taskbar, type Device Manager, and then select Device Manager from the list of results.

  2. Expand Network adapters and locate the Ethernet network adapter for your device.

  3. Select the network adapter, press and hold (or right-click), and then select Uninstall device > the Attempt to remove the driver for this device check box > Uninstall.

  4. After uninstalling the driver, select the Start  button > Power  > Restart.

After your PC restarts, Windows will automatically look for and install the network adapter driver. Check to see if that fixes your connection problem. If Windows doesn’t automatically install a driver, try to install the backup driver you saved before uninstalling.

  • Use network reset. Using network reset should be the last step you try. Consider using it if the steps above don’t help to get you connected.

    This can help solve connection problems you might have after upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11. It can also help to fix the problem where you can connect to the internet but can’t connect to shared network drives. Network reset removes any network adapters you have installed and the settings for them. After your PC restarts, any network adapters are reinstalled, and the settings for them are set to the defaults.

  1. Select the Start  button, then enter settings. Select Settings  > Network & internet > Advanced network settings > Network reset.

    Open Network & internet status settings

  2. On the Network reset screen, select Reset now > Yes to confirm.

    Wait for your PC to restart and see if that fixes the problem.

    Notes: 

    • After using network reset, you might need to reinstall and set up other networking software you might be using, such as VPN client software or virtual switches from Hyper‑V (if you’re using that or other network virtualization software).

    • Network reset might set each one of your known network connections to a public network profile. In a public network profile, your PC is not discoverable to other PCs and devices on the network, which can help make your PC more secure. However, if your PC is used for file or printer sharing, you’ll need to make your PC discoverable again by setting it to use a private network profile. To do this, select the Start  button, then enter settings. Select Settings Network & internet > Ethernet . On the Ethernet screen, under Network profile type, select Private.

On another PC

  • Try to connect to the same network on a different device. If you have another Windows PC in your home and a USB to Ethernet adapter, try to connect using that PC. If you can connect, the source of the problem is likely due to your first PC. If you can’t connect to the Ethernet network on either PC, it might be a problem with your router, internet service provider, or USB to Ethernet adapter.

On your home router

Try these things first to help you fix or narrow down the connection problem.

  • Check the Ethernet cable and connection. Make sure the Ethernet cable is securely plugged into the Ethernet port on both your router and Windows 10 PC. On your router, make sure the Ethernet cable is plugged into the correct Ethernet port—not the Internet port that’s used to connect your modem and router.

    If one Ethernet cable doesn’t work and you have another one nearby, try the other Ethernet cable to see if that works. If it does, it might be a problem with the first cable.

  6. On your PC, try to connect again using the Ethernet connection.

On your PC

  • Check the network status in Settings. Open Settings > Network & Internet  > Status. Check your Ethernet connection status there. It should display You’re connected to the Internet underneath the Ethernet network connection.

    If one Ethernet cable doesn’t work and you have another one nearby, try the other Ethernet cable to see if that works. If it does, it might be a problem with the first cable.

  • Connect to Wi-Fi instead. If your router is a Wi-Fi router, try to connect to Wi-Fi and see if you can get connected. This can do two things—help you get an internet connection and help you narrow down the source of the problem. For more info, see Connect to a Wi-Fi network in Windows.

Если у вас возникли проблемы с подключением к сети, сбросьте сетевые настройки в Windows.

Сброс сетевых настроек также сбрасывает настройки прокси-сервера.

Как сбросить сетевые настройки с помощью командной строки

Как сбросить сетевые настройки в Windows 10 и Windows 11

Спасибо за ваш отзыв, вы помогаете нам становиться лучше!

Спасибо за ваш отзыв, вы помогаете нам становиться лучше!

Обычно сброс сетевых настроек в Windows это последнее средство, которое стоит попробовать для решения сложных проблем с доступом к локальной сети или Интернету. При этом на компьютере сбрасываются настройки сетевых адаптеров, настройки стека TCP/IP до стандартных настроек в чистой Windows, удаляются и переустанавливаются все сетевые адаптеры компьютера. В этой статье мы рассмотрим особенности сброса сетевых настроек в Windows из графического интерфейса и с помощью командной строки.

Прежде чем прибегать к сбросу сетевых настроек, убедитесь, что вы попробовали все стандартные средства диагностики работы с сетью: проверили настройки IP, работу маршрутизатора/роутера/провайдера, обновили драйвера сетевых адаптеров, перезагружали компьютер, воспользовались встроенным Windows Network Troubleshooter (команда
msdt.exe /id NetworkDiagnosticsNetworkAdapter
) и т.д. Если ни один инструментов не помог исправить сетевую проблему, можно попробовать сбросить сетевые настройки.

Содержание:

  • Сохраните текущие сетевые настройки Windows
  • Сброс сетевых настроек из панели управления Windows
  • Сброс сетевых настроек из командной строки Windows

Сохраните текущие сетевые настройки Windows

При сбросе сети в Windows будут потеряны все настройки, которые вы задали вручную: IP адреса, DNS сервера, статические маршруты, настройки сетевых драйверов, очищены сохраненные Wi-Fi сети и т.д. Поэтому перед сбросом важно сохранить текущие настройки.

Выведите список сетевых адаптеров:

Get-NetAdapter|select name,InterfaceIndex,InterfaceDescription,InterfaceOperationalStatus,MediaConnectionState,DriverInformation|ft

powershell вывести все сетевые адаптеры в windows

Для всех подключенных сетевых адаптеров проверьте, получают ли они настройки автоматически (через DHCP) или вручную:

Get-NetIPInterface -InterfaceIndex 7

powershell найти сетевые адаптеры со статическим настройками IP адрессации

Если для интерфейса значение
Dhcp=Disabled
, значит для адаптера настройки IP заданы вручную и вам нужно сохранить текущие настройки в файл:

Get-NetIPConfiguration -InterfaceIndex 7 >>c:\network_settings.txt

сохранить текущий статичесий IP адрес и DNS сервера в файл

Выведите и запишите все статические маршруты в таблице маршрутизации (из секции Persistent Routes):

Route print

route prin статические маршруты

С помощью PowerShell выведите список VPN подключений, запишите их настройки:

Get-VpnConnection

В моем случае настройки сохраненных VPN подключений не были сброшены. Также не был удален виртуальный адаптер OpenVPN Wintun (адаптер для подключения к OpenVPN серверу).

Выведите WLAN профили и сохраните настройки беспроводных сетей в файл:

netsh wlan show profile
netsh wlan export profile name="Xiaomi_20F5" key=clear folder=c:\ps

Сохраните настройки Winsock:

netsh winsock show catalog > c:\winsock-backup.txt

После сброса сети сохраненная информация поможет вам восстановить все сетевые настройки, заданные вручную.

Сброс сетевых настроек из панели управления Windows

В Windows 10 (1607+), Windows 11 и Windows Server 2019/2022 можно сбросить сетевые настройки из панели Параметры (Settings). Перейдите в раздел Settings -> Network (или выполните команду быстрого доступа к ms-settings: ms-settings:network). Нажмите кнопку Network reset -> Reset now.

Сброс сети в Windows 10 панель Параметры

Подтвердите сброс сетевых настроек. Windows очистит все сетевые настройки и удалит сетевые карты (сетевые адаптеры не будут отображаться в Панели Управления). Настройки сети будут сброшены до заводских. Windows автоматически перезагрузится через 5 минут.

После загрузки Windows обнаружит все подключенные сетевые адаптеры и устанвит драйвера. Останется настроить параметры сетевых подключение и проверить, исправлена ли проблема.

Сброс сетевых настроек из командной строки Windows

Все те же действия, которая выполнила процедура сброса сети из панели Settings можно выполнить из командной строки.

Сбросьте кэш DNS:

ipconfig /flushdns

Сбросьте настройки WinSock:

netsh winsock reset

Sucessfully reset the Winsock Catalog.
You must restart the computer in order to complete the reset.

Команда сбрасывает настройки в ветке реестра HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinSock2\Parameters . При этом старые настройки сохраняются в ветку Protocol_Catalog_Before_Reset. netsh winsock reset - сброс настроек winsock

Сброс настроек стека TCP/IP:

netsh int ip reset

Для сброса настроек TCP/IPv6:

netsh int ipv6 reset

netsh int ip reset - команда сброс TCP IP стека в Windows

powershell Get-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty расширенные настройки сетевых адаптеров

Здесь можно вывести настройки Jumbo Packet, VLAN, настройки буферов и т.д.

Для сброса этих параметров, выполните:

Reset-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty -Name Ethernet0

Перезагрузите компьютер и задайте все сетевые настройки заново. Если компьютер настроен на автоматическое получение IP адреса и настроек сети от DHCP сервера, ничего дополнительно настраивать не придется.

What Is Winsock

Winsock is an application programming interface (API) that operates between applications such as a web browser. Belonging to the field of networking, Winsock, also known as Windows Socket, is used to describe the data within the computer that is used by programs to access a network. While it creates network protocols between different applications, it stores the settings that explain how the entities interact in the database. Any issues with network connectivity within applications are also related to Winsock, which might need resetting in such circumstances.

winsock

The database created and stored by Winsock is referred to as the Winsock Catalog. Whenever you consider resetting Winsock under the netsh Winsock reset option, the configurations made across the Winsock Catalog will reset. The networking programs associated with the catalog will get a fresh start as they reconnect to the TCP/IP traffic with default settings.

When to Perform a Winsock Reset

As you understand the terminology associated with the concept of Winsock, it is necessary to know why one performs a netsh Winsock reset. Some multiple considerations and situations are associated with this particular operation. We have outlined the initials of these events that should provoke you to use the Winsock reset option:

  • If there are DNS lookup issues in your computer, you must consider resetting the network configurations by netsh Winsock reset.
  • Any particular attack of viruses and malware on the computer will also require you to reset your device’s network settings.
  • On observing «limited or no connectivity» errors, the need to have a Winsock reset gets necessary.
  • If the internet connection is not working on your device in specific, it is pretty important for you to resolve the problem.
  • Programs like VPNs and other firewall programs can cause hindrances in the operations of resetting Winsock, which needs resetting.

How to Perform a Netsh Winsock Reset

Winsock Reset FAQs

1. Why do we use netsh Winsock reset?

Whenever there are issues with network connectivity with your device, you have to look into the applications and platforms being used. If any particular virus or malware is causing issues, or the computer has activated the firewall and other VPN services, the netsh Winsock reset command is necessary for putting back all network settings and configurations to default.

2. How do I fix corrupted Winsock?

To fix the corrupted Winsock, you must repair the Winsock Catalog that holds all the data. The perfect way to fix it is to use the netsh Winsock reset as a solution to corrupted Winsock.

3. Does Winsock reset flush DNS?

There is a dedicated flush DNS command available used for removing stored cache and retrieving all information from the DNS again. Winsock reset fixes all the issues, thus restarting the established communication.
