  1. Can't connect to one specific Wi-Fi network...


    Xiaomi Laptop Pro 2019.

    Then I boot a laptop, it can't connect to my home wi-fi. Troubleshooting resets the profile as it says and it works!... For 15 seconds.

    Turning off-on adapter in device manager - same result. Same as rebooting my router. Is there any way to make it work?

    :)

    Windows 10 stop automatically connecting to random new wi-fi networks

    Hi,

    I have searched a lot, but all the tutorials I found only explained how to not connect automatically to a known wi-fi network or how to disable wi-fi sense... but this is not what I am looking for...

    PROBLEM:

    • When my laptop (Windows 10 Pro X64) is not connected to a network and the wireless adapter is on, it will automatically connect to any random new unsecured wi-fi network... The only way I have now to avoid this is to disable my wi-fi adapter.

    UNUSEFUL TUTORIALS I FOUND ON THE INTERNET:

    • How to manually uncheck the option for a particular wi-fi network not to connect automatically in Network Properties. This is not what I am looking for. This would suggest that everytime I power my computer. I would have to manually go through all the available wi-fi networks and unclick them all...
    • How to disable Wi-Fi Sense. This is not useful, because I don't even have a Wi-Fi sense option in my computer where the tutorials say it should be.

    EXPECTED BEHAVIOR:

    • I am looking for an option to tell my computer to stop connecting randomly to unknown wi-fi networks like an hyperactive, reckless idiot.

    PERSONAL COMMENT:

    • Honestly, why would any respectable company think that it could be somewhat wise or secure to do this... Anyone's computer could just randomly connect to any hacker's wi-fi network without the user even knowing it...

    Any solutions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    Can't connect to one specific Wi-Fi network...

    Unable to connect to a specific Wi-Fi network in Windows 10

    I have been contacting Microsoft Support for the past 2 days to find a solution for this issue. But no one seems to know a fix. Hence I am forced to post this question, even though I know there have been similar posts earlier.

    I am unable to connect to a specific Wi-Fi network in my windows 10 pc. I am able to connect to that network with devices using other OS (like Android). I am able to connect to other Wi-Fi networks in my pc as well.

    Please note that I am unable to connect to this specific Wi-Fi network in my windows phone as well, which runs on Windows Phone 8.1.

    I have tried updating the adapter driver and used the windows troubleshoot. Both did not find any issue.

    Attaching below the screenshot of the error I see when trying to connect to the network.


    Can't connect to one specific Wi-Fi network... 20e0af2a-9df0-49c7-945a-6d39f49c49f4.jpg


    Update:

    I received a response from one of the Support executives with 3 suggestions, and none of them fixed the issue.

    Adding them here for reference.

    Method 1: Run network troubleshooter.

    Method 2: Configuring DNS server address:

    Network and Sharing Center --> Change Adapter Settings --> Click the Wi-Fi connection you want to configure.

    Could not proceed with this step as the specific Wifi network does not exist in the list

    Method 3: Try resetting TCP/IP and check if it works.

    On Command Prompt (admin) and Reboot the computer.

    netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt
