How to fix
Wi-Fi Connection Error “No Internet, Secured”
on Windows

Hi, all. I have a serious issue with Wi-Fi connection on my laptop. I’ve upgraded to Windows 10 from 8 two days ago, installed all available updates, and right after that the Wi-Fi connection was lost. The connection seems to be set judging from the wi-fi icon on the taskbar, but when I try to access browser or any website, I receive an error “No Internet, Secured.” Have no ideas how to play around this issue. Please advice!

People are continuously reporting about Internet problems, which started emerging after upgrading to Windows 10 from earlier versions or installing Windows 10 cumulative updates. Sadly, but Internet connection problems on Windows 10 showed up right after the release of the OS, meaning that Microsoft engineers do not manage to cope with them for two years. Hopefully, they will be solved with the Creator’s Update upcoming this spring.

In this post, we would like to concentrate upon Wi-Fi Connection error “No Internet, Secured.” This error might appear on each device running Windows 10 regardless of its requisites, software or old. However, it has been noticed that this issue tends to appear right after installation/upgrade to Windows 10 or its cumulative updates. Interestingly, all parameters indicate the fact that the device has established a Wi-Fi connection, but when a computer, laptop, tablet, etc. owner tries to connect to the Internet, the error message “No Internet, Secured” is delivered. While some Windows enthusiasts speculate that the core of this bug may be an outdated wireless adapter, malfunctioning Wired Ethernet connections, no Wi-Fi driver, and similar, the others skip the analysis of the bug and share their experience on how they have managed to fix “No Internet, Secured” error.
