solve network "action needed" in windows

hello guys!
Today, i faced a problem that when i connect to my WLAN network and i had connection but i cloudnt see WiFi icon on my pc and got "Action needed" message for my network.

i tried to solve this problem by cmd and i founded out when i use DNS and VPN at the same time, this problem occured.
if you have this problem too, do things below in cmd:

**1. turn off your VPN.

  1. Unset you DNS.
  2. press windows+R, type cmd and hit ctrl+shift+enter to run as administrator.
  3. type command ipconfig /flushdns
  4. after you got results, type ipconfig /release
  5. same as 5, after you got results, type ipconfig /renew
  6. then type "netsh winsock reset" and restart your system. 7+. Disable and Enable your WiFi driver.**

maybe when you put DNS again, this problem occur again and you should change your DNS!

hope this guide be helpful for you
and this is my pleasure to improve this way by typing your idea below.

Thanks.
