Windows 10: Brand new laptop isn't showing wifi or letting me skip the network connect step on startup

I just got this laptop. I restarted my wifi, my laptop, I tried turning it off and back on. It's not working

:)

 

Does Media Creation Tool-USB also include WiFi drivers?

Laptop install: I am installing Windows 10x 64 using USB created by the latest media creation tool.
All goes fine upto the point where it says 'Let's connect you to a network'.
Nothing shows up, even not after a couple of minutes.

The laptop is just 1m away from my modem and the WiFi signal is very strong, I know.

Now, yesterday, after unpacking the laptop, WiFi worked.

I decided to just start with a clean system.
Formatted the SSD before starting the setup of Windows.

Device Manager->Network Adapters doe not show anything with WiFi, it shows Bluetooth device (Personal Area Network), Bluetooth (RFCOMM Protocol TDI) and all other are WAN Miniport.

Any suggestions?



(note: when skipping this step, Windows install obviously goes on, but there is simply no way get connected, at least not using WiFi.)

 

I'm online from my wifi laptop but can't connect to my home network

Nope, I've tried all the steps of all the fixes listed by Dalchina and Try3 but the problem still exists. The W10 laptop refuses to access my main W7 pc (named CG16) on my home network, although it can 'see' it, ie, it shows CG16 in the network list. The only thing I haven't tried is Dalchina's suggestion about creating a shortcut, mainly because I'm not sure where this shortcut is supposed to be. I'm assuming it has to be on the W10 laptop but I don't understand how it could work. More info please, Dalchina, if you'd be so kind. Daymin, sorry: I have no idea what you're trying to say.

 

Windows 10 not showing new wifi networks. It can connect to existing network

Hi Meena,

I'm sorry to hear that your laptop is not detecting new WiFi networks since you moved to Germany from India. I can understand how frustrating this must be for you. Here are some steps that you can try to resolve the issue:

> Update your wireless network adapter drivers.

> Check your network settings: Make sure that your laptop's network settings are compatible with the available WiFi networks in your area.

> Reset your network settings: Resetting your laptop's network settings to their default values may help resolve the issue. To do this, go to your laptop's network settings and select the option to reset the settings to their default values.

Please try these steps and let me know if they help to resolve the issue. If you still have trouble connecting to new WiFi networks, feel free to reach out to me for further assistance.

Best regards,
