If you want to fully reset your network settings, this is one of the easiest ways to do it.
This is especially useful if you want to revert EXM Tweaks network optimizations, fix internet-related issues, or return your network configuration back to Windows default behavior.
Before You Begin
Resetting your network adapters will remove and reinstall your network components automatically.
This means Windows will reset things like:
Wi-Fi adapters
Ethernet adapters
Saved network configuration
Custom network settings
After doing this, your PC will restart automatically.
You may need to reconnect to Wi-Fi afterward and re-enter your password.
When You Should Use This
A network adapter reset is a good option if:
You want to revert our network optimizations
Your internet feels unstable after changing network settings
You are having issues connecting to websites, games, or services
Your adapter is showing errors or not behaving normally
You want to return your networking stack closer to default Windows behavior
How to Reset Network Adapters
Steps
Open Start
Go to Settings
Select Network & Internet
Scroll down and select Advanced network settings
Find and open Network reset
Click Reset now
Confirm the reset
Windows will then begin removing and reinstalling your network adapters.
Your system should restart automatically within a few minutes.
After the Restart
Once your PC boots back up:
Reconnect to your Wi-Fi network if needed
Re-enter your Wi-Fi password
Test your internet connection
Check whether the issue has been resolved
If you were trying to revert EXM Tweaks network optimizations, this is one of the best first steps to take.
Important Notes
A network reset can help with:
Broken internet connectivity
Adapter-related errors
DNS or configuration issues
Reverting custom network changes
Restoring more default Windows network behavior
Keep in mind that this does not uninstall your internet driver package from your system permanently, but it does reset your network configuration and reinstall the adapters through Windows.
If your connection still does not work after this, you may need to manually reinstall your motherboard, Wi-Fi, or Ethernet drivers from your device manufacturer’s website.
