Make sure that Blizzard Servers are up and running

Before you start changing anything on your computer check to see if the servers are up and running. If they aren't then you don't have to do anything. Just wait for Blizzard to fix Battlenet servers. There's not much else you can do anyway.

Disable third-party security software/add Blizzard apps to the exception list

If you've started using a new firewall or antivirus program, there's a change it is the cause. Personally, I suggest sticking with Windows Defender and nothing else. It is the most reliable and stable.

• Open your antivirus or firewall application.

• Look for a setting that allows you to add exceptions or manage firewall rules.

• Add each Blizzard application (like Battle.net, World of Warcraft, Overwatch) to the exceptions list.

• Alternatively, you can temporarily disable your antivirus or firewall to test if it resolves the issue.

Update your network drivers

This is a straight forward solution.

• Type Device Manager in Windows search and press Enter.

• Locate and expand the Network adapters section.

• Right-click on your Network adapter and select Update driver.

• Pick Search automatically for drivers and wait.

• Follow the on-screen instructions and restart your device once done.

Repair the game via Battle.net

Battle.net offers a repair tool that can fix corrupted or missing game files, which might be causing disconnection issues.

• Open the Battle.net client on your PC.

• Select the game on which you receive the “You were disconnected from Blizzard services” error in the client.

• Click on the gear icon next to the Play button and select Scan and repair from the menu.

• Wait for the scan to finish.

Clear cache files

Clearing the cache files removes temporary data that can fix the problem if it is isolated to a specific game.

• Completely exit the game and the Battle.net client.

• Your first task is to delete Blizzard Entertainment folders from certain locations.

• In Windows search, type %programdata% and press Enter.

• Delete the Blizzard Entertainment folder.

• Repeat the process with the %localappdata% directory.

• Finally, type %Temp% in Windows search, press Enter, and delete all contents of that folder.
