How To Successfully Complete the TDI Indication on Windows 11 / 10

Reset Network Settings Using Command Prompt — How I Finally Fixed Error Code 710

Honestly, if you’re hitting error code 710 on Windows 10 or 11, a lot of folks (myself included) recommend starting with a network reset. It sounds simple, but that’s often enough to clear out weird network hiccups, especially if your PC isn’t talking nicely to your network hardware.

Here’s where I got stuck earlier—launching Command Prompt with admin privileges. It’s vital because messing with network stuff requires elevated permissions. So, search for “cmd”, right-click on “Command Prompt,” then pick Run as administrator. If you get a UAC prompt, click Yes. Sometimes it feels like a gamble whether the prompt pops up or not—depends on how stubborn your system is that day.

Once you’re in, run these commands one after the other, pressing Enter each time. These commands will flush DNS caches, register DNS again, release your current IP lease, and then renew it. Basically, they reset how your system talks to the network from the ground up. Here’s what I typed:

ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
netsh winsock reset

It’s super important to do these commands consecutively, waiting for each to finish before moving on. They clear out corrupted DNS entries, reset your Winsock catalog—which, I’ve learned the hard way, can be a notorious pain point for network errors—and basically give your system’s network stack a good fresh start.

*Pro tip:* You can also add netsh int ip reset, which resets the TCP/IP stack, in case the other commands don’t do enough. I’ve seen that sometimes help, especially when things are really stubborn.

After all that, I just restarted the PC. No fancy stuff, just hit Windows key + P and pick restart. Sometimes, I’ve had to do this more than once, but generally, a restart makes sure all the changes stick. Fingers crossed, that’s what finally got rid of error 710 for me.

Update Your Network Adapter Drivers — Could Be the Fix

If resetting the network isn’t enough, then updating your drivers is the next thing to try. Drivers act as the bridge between Windows and your network hardware, and outdated or corrupted drivers can cause errors like 710 to pop up out of nowhere, especially after Windows updates.

Go into Device Manager—search for it in the Start menu, right-click, and click “Device Manager.” Expand the Network adapters section, find your main network device, right-click it, and choose Update driver. When prompted, pick Search automatically for updated driver software. Windows will search online and try to find the latest version. Sometimes, it manages to fetch a newer driver that fixes weird bugs or compatibility issues.

If an update does come through and installs successfully, reboot your PC and test again. And here’s a thing: if the new driver causes more problems or you just want to roll back, the driver tab in Properties has a Roll Back Driver option. Sometimes the latest driver isn’t actually the best, especially with pretty new updates.

Try Windows Troubleshooter — Might Catch Hidden Issues

If driver updates and resets don’t cut it, Windows’ built-in troubleshooter could help. It’s basically a robot tech support that checks common network issues. Not always perfect, but I found it surprisingly useful sometimes.

Head over to Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters. Find “Network & Internet” and click “Run.” Follow the prompts, and let it do its thing. It might reset network adapters, restart services, or suggest other fixes. I’ve seen it clear up the error after following through. (Tip: On Windows 11, the menu paths are similar but a bit more streamlined.)

If it seems to get stuck or doesn’t find anything, you can also try running the diagnostics from the command line with:

msdt.exe /id NetworkDiagnosticsWeb

Worth a shot. After it’s done, rerun your network check and see if Error 710 still hangs around.

Run DISM and SFC to Fix Underlying System Files

Sometimes, the root cause is deeper—system files might be corrupted or missing. Disabling those issues can help solve network errors that won’t go away with simple resets.

Open Command Prompt as administrator again—right-click and choose Run as administrator. Then run these commands one at a time:

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
sfc /scannow

The DISM /RestoreHealth can take a little while, so be patient. Sometimes, it reports that it’s unable to find source files—if that happens, you might need to point it to an ISO or a repair source, but honestly, for most folks, the default commands work fine.

After running those, do a last sfc /scannow. It checks and repairs corrupted system files. Expect it to take some time, but once done, reboot and check if error 710 is still there. The fix often lies in cleaning up system file corruption that standard resets don’t reach.

Hope this helps — it certainly took me forever to track down the quirks. The main things to double-check are your network drivers, run the system file checker, reset the network, and restart. Good luck!
