3[Solved] How to Fix Windows Has Detected an Ip Address Conflict in Windows 10.
IP address is a unique address your computer gets when it connects to a network. It’s the computer’s address and identity which is used to identify it among all the other computers and network devices. This error, as you can see in the message, shows that the IP address you have is in use. Usually, this is a Private IP Address and has nothing to do with your Internet Provider since it is a glitch with your PC Settings or Router. All Private IP Addresses on your network must be unique.
Think of it as a postal address, let’s assume you have 4 devices connected (a computer, a printer, an iPad and an iPhone) to your Network, a message is sent from somewhere destined for the iPad but the iPad and the Computer have the same IP (Address). Now how is the Post Man supposed to know which of the two is the correct recipient?
Commands Used:
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset
