Windows 10: Can't turn wireless internet on; Windows 10

I've had a Windows 10 PC for about a year now, and it's never given me any issues. However, after the other day, and for seemingly no reason, I simply can't turn the Wireless on. When I click the WiFi icon on the taskbar, all it brings up is the Airplane Mode icon which I can't interact with whatsoever and the link to the Network and Internet settings, none of which have been any help. I tried running a diagnostics check, and it said I need to use an ethernet cable; my computer has always been a floor above my router, I've never plugged it into the router, and I can't very well go about drilling a giant hole in the floor and running cables from the living room on the first floor to my bedroom on the second floor. The tutorials I found online told me to uninstall and reinstall the Wireless Adapter driver, but when I checked the Device Manager, no Wireless Adapters appeared. Then it told me to check Open Services in Task Manager for the WLAN Auto-Cofig, which was already set to Automatic and running. I stopped it and restarted it, then shut my computer off and turned it back on; nothing. I tried turning the computer off, unplugging it entirely, waiting a few minutes, then plugging it in and turning it on; STILL nothing. Is there any way I can fix this?

(SOLVED/CLOSED)looking for help with Android phone CONSTANT wireless signal notification

Yeah, thats not a solution she is interested in......I've suggested that course of action. Thanks though.

Just to clarify, I feel that there MUST be a step, or series of steps to turn off JUST the wireless notification sound. Thats what Im driving @ here.

 

in windows 10 how do i turn on my wireless printer

Hi,

• What is the make and model of the printer and the computer?

As you have mentioned that “I cannot turn on my wireless printer. it says my radio is off”
which means the wireless button might not have turned ‘ON’ on your printer.

So I suggest you to check for the wireless button on the printer and turn it ‘ON’ then follow the below steps to ‘ADD’ the wireless printer on your computer and connect it, check if it helps.

• In the Search box type as ‘Device and Printers’.
• Click on ‘Add a printer’ you will find the wireless printer is displayed on your computer.
• Click on the printer and click on ‘Next’.
• Follow the onscreen instruction and connect the computer and printer.

If still you are facing issue in connecting the wireless printer then I suggest you to refer to the printer manual and check if it helps.

Please get back to us with an update on this issue, we will be happy to assist you further.

Thank you
