While using google chrome we came across many errors. For example- our network connection is working properly on other browsers or apps but not one google chrome. Like the same, we have another error, ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED.
Many people reported this error. In this error, the site doesn’t load the content and we get only the text ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED on the whole page. Also sometimes this error appears with an error message ‘Unable to access the network’ or ‘your connection was interrupted. This error can be problematic because it doesn’t allow us to access the website.
One of the reasons behind causing this error is somehow related to third-party software that has been installed on your computer or pc which causes a clash with the web connectivity.
Sometimes DNS settings is also changed due to changing VPN settings or maybe additional adapters are installed which led to this error. Also, chrome undergoes this error when it discovers a change in the IP address of your PC.
