First, make sure that Metamask is properly connected to your local network. Here are a few things to check:

• Network adapter settings: Make sure that the network adapter on your Windows 10 computer is set to connect to the same network that Metamask is supposed to use (e.g. Localhost 8545).

• Wireless adapter settings: Also, make sure that your wireless adapter is enabled and configured correctly.

• Metamask settings: Make sure that Metamask is not using a network other than your local network.

Troubleshooting Steps

If you have checked the settings above and are still unable to connect Metamask to Localhost 8545, here are some troubleshooting steps:

• Restart your computer: Sometimes, a simple restart of your computer can resolve connection issues.

• Check your network connection: Make sure your network connection is stable and working properly. Try disconnecting and then reconnecting to the network.

• Disable all wireless adapters: Disable all wireless adapters in Metamask settings until the issue is resolved.
