Windows 10: Can't Access Available Networks

Hey!I have had this issue of not being able to see my networks for a few weeks but it didn't really concern me until I changed my wifi provider. Now I can't access the internet on my laptop.This also goes for the start menu and search buttons on the taskbar. I can still access search via win key + sHere is a gif of what happensClick MeIt essentially opens but then closes.The start menu doesn't even do anything though. It has me pretty stumped.

Laptop won't show list of available networks

We suggest checking the list of available Wi-Fi networks on your laptop.

Please follow these steps:

• Click the Windows logo.
• Go to Settings (gear icon).
• Select Network and Internet.
• Then Wi-Fi.
• Make sure the Wi-Fi radio button is On.
• Select Show available networks, then you'll be able to see the list of available Wi-Fi networks.

Update us with the outcome so we provide further assistance.

 

One computer cannot access other network computers.


So I've tried every troubleshooting step I know:

• Double checked that Net Bios was enabled
• Ran a bunch of network commands:
  • flushed DNS
  • registered dns
  • pinged and located the named computers successfully
• Reset my router to factory settings

Nothing works when I try to access via explorer. I'm still baffled by the fact that every other computer can access each other AND access this computer. It's just the outgoing connection from this machine that doesn't work.

Any thoughts?
