  1. Wifi adapter needs to be reset every time I turn on


    I have had an issue with wifi adapter ever since I got my new Surface Pro 6 but I procrastinated and let Tech Support warranty expire. Every time I turn on my machine it fails to connect to my network. It either doesn't show a connection or says I'm connected but "no internet access". I have to run the network troubleshooter and it "fixes" the wifi adapter, but the fix only lasts for that session. I already searched for an updated driver - it was already current. There's nothing wrong with my network; all other devices connect no problem.

    :)

  2. Wifi adapter turned off

    Thanks Mr. Andre Da Costa

    1. Hosted network supported: yes
    2. Antivirus uninstalled
    3. Turn on mobile hotspot : can not be turned on while the wifi adapter is off
    4. uninstall all virtual adapters: Done
    5. HostedNetworkSettings key deleted
    6. updating both your Network adapter drivers or uninstall them. : Done
    7. Starting hotspot from command prompt does not work while the wifi adapter is off
    8. Microsoft Hosted Network Virtual Adapter: not found. windows can not make virtual adapter while wifi adapter is off

    The main problem is that the wifi adapter is off and if I turned it on it went off again immediately

    I tried an external wifi USB adapter and it has the same problem, even if it is on it can not start a hotspot.

    What must I do

    Wifi adapter needs to be reset every time I turn on

    Wifi adapter disappears - goes 'hidden'


    Running Windows 10 on an Acer laptop. Over the past month, the wifi connection dropped without explanation/warning.

    First time, the adapter was visible in Device Manager (with a yellow triangle next to it). An interent search found the suggestion to uninstall it and restart. That worked.

    Today, the connection dropped again. In Device Manager at first I could not see the wifi adapter listed. I clicked to see hidden devices and found the adapter and the Bluetooth (which I had not noticed was missing).

    I again uninstalled, restarted, and both the wifi and bluetooth have returned.

    Anyone any ideas as to what is happening, why it's happening, and what I need to do, please?

    I have attached a screenshot of the DM windows as it is now, showing the wifi adapter name, etc.

    Thanks very much
