Solution 1 – Restart Your Computer

Sometimes, restarting the computer does the trick. You may well find the error gone after Windows reboot.

• Turn off your computer (If you are using a desktop, unplug its power cable)
• Turn the computer on (Desktop users will need to first plug in the power cable)
• Open Google Chrome and check if the error is fixed

Solution 2 – Reset network settings

This error can occur in case of a corruption issue with your computer’s network settings. The good part is resetting the network settings will solve the problem.

Here are the steps to follow:

• Type cmd in the Start Search box
• Right-click Command Prompt and choose Run as administrator

• Next, type the following commands in the order they appear below and press Enter after each command

Solution 3 – Update the network driver

One of the most common causes of this error is outdated or corrupt or missing network driver. You can update your network driver automatically as well as manually. The first method is easy and quick, the second a bit complicated and tedious. All the same, we have described both for your reference.

Update network driver manually

• Press Windows logo key + R together to bring up the Run command
• In Run command, type devmgmt.msc and click OK
• In the Device Manager, go to Network Adapters and expand it
• Select your device and right-click on it
• Select update driver from the list of options
• In the next window, select Search automatically for updated driver software.

Windows will search your computer and the internet to find a driver update and install it. If it does not find a driver update, you have to manually download the mouse driver and install it.

• Open Internet browser
• Go to the Mouse manufacturer website
• Go to the Download section and select your product
• Download mouse driver compatible with your OS version (Windows 7/8/8.1/10) and save the driver file on a suitable location on your computer. Before you download the driver file, make sure it corresponds to your PC type. That basically means, if you have Windows 10 32-bit, the file should be for 32-bit Windows 10 PCs. Likewise, Windows 64-bit users need to download the driver file meant for 64-bit Windows 10 version.
• Double-click on the driver setup file to install the driver
• Restart your computer

• You can update device drivers automatically
