    Windows 10 2004, clean install, Wireless network adapter needs to be reset every 5 min.


    Windows 10 2004, clean install, Wireless network adapter needs to be reset every 5 min, drivers have been updated.

    Adapter disabled and enabled, DNS reset, and cache emptied. Nothing I have found on the internet has helped.

    Using Realtek RTL8188CE 802.11bfgn Adapter, set to only use only b/g.

    This problem makes my laptop totally unusable.

    Never thought I would say this but I'm done with Windows.

    Apple/Mac or some form of Unix from now on for me.

    UNLESS someone from Microsoft can fix this. I am seeing this problem all over the internet with out any reliable fixes. An operating system that does not allow me to connect to a network in this day and age is nothing but a paperweight.

    :)

    Cannot turn on wireless adapter after clean install of Win10

    A couple years ago I upgraded my brother's Lenovo T420 Thinkpad from Win7 to Win10. All went well. No issues at all. Skip to present. For some reason the system would not boot to Windows. I opted to do a clean install. That went without issue, except now I cannot seem to turn on the wireless adapter / radio.

    • Windows Wifi settings radio is ON
    • Checked physical switch on side - ON
    • Checked BIOS - Nothing there
    • Checked Wireless ON/Off function key. They seem to work with other functions. Just do not turn on or off the wireless radio.
    • Went to Intel website and installed latest driver for the adapter
    • Went to Lenovo website. They do not offer Windows 10 support/driver etc for this model. When I try using their automated scanner to select the correct drivers and utilities it locks up. I assume because I am running Win10 and Win10 is not supported.
    • Since the original WIn7 x64 drivers and utilities worked before I was going to manually download and install, but their nomenclature is confusing. Software is listed Thinkpad, Laptop, Desktop, ThinkCentre. This is a Thinkpad laptop. Which do I download?

    The bottom line is that the wireless adapter worked fine after upgrade from Win7, but will not turn on since the clean install of Win10.

    Does anyone have any suggestions other than tell my brother I broke his laptop *Eek
