Windows 10: Can't View New Wifi Networks on Laptop

Trying to connect to new wi-fi networks on a Dell Latitude E7240 but they aren't visible. They show up on my phone and I can join them no problem but they aren't even visible under on the laptop. Restarted, turned wi-fi on and off, and tried updating all the network drivers did nothing so I am at a loss. Any advice would be great!

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.

 

Unable to see a specific WiFi Network in list

I have Windows 8.1. I can see the WiFi networks of everyone in the vicinity. However, am unable to see the WiFi network installed in my home.

The WiFi Network that am unable to see is a new connection. This new connection is seen by all devices (Mobiles etc) but it is.not getting displayed in my Windows 8.1 list.

I have seen other threads on the issue which recommend checking WLAN Autoconfig etc. And have tried those steps too. But there is no change in the outcome.

Can anyone please suggest any solution that migjt work. I am not willing to format my Laptop.

Any help would be deeply appreciated.

Thanks in adv and Regards

Unable to open WiFi networks to view

I am able to connect to a wifi network if I have connected to it previously. However, I am unable to
view wifi networks using the Windows taskbar or the settings menu. (I can view networks using a command prompt.)

I have run the troubleshooter (no problems identified) and have run the following commands

• Type netsh winsock reset and press Enter.
• Type netsh int ip reset and press Enter.
• Type ipconfig /release and press Enter.
• Type ipconfig /renew and press Enter.
• Type ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter.

I also attempted to uninstall the most recent Windows update and restart (but nothing changed, so I reinstalled the update).

To be clear: My issue is that:

(a) My wifi works;

(b) I can get online with wifi networks with which I have previously connected; but

(c) I cannot use either the taskbar or the link on the settings menu (Settings > Status > Network Status) to
show available networks.

This situation is problematic if I were to either want to switch to a different network or add a new network.
