No internet on Windows after uninstalling or updating Fortis
Usually fixed by a restart or by the kill switch setting.
Last updated September 25, 2026
1. Restart your PC
This fixes it most of the time.
2. Is Fortis still installed?
The kill switch blocks the internet while Fortis is off. Connect again, or turn the kill switch off in Settings. See Kill switch and startup settings.
3. Use Windows network reset
Open Settings, then Network & internet, then Advanced network settings, then Network reset. Click Reset now and let the PC restart. You may need to type your Wi-Fi password again.
