    I just don't understand why my saved hidden network doesn't show up with its name?

    And whenever I try to connect by writing SSID and password correctly it shows up "Can't connect to this network.".

    It is so extremely frustrating! I feel like these Windows 10 developers gave the promise to break something every time with their new updates. Instead of changing some icons maybe try to fix bugs and provide a more stable OS ?

    This started to happen after I upgraded to 1909 and it also happens on 2004 update.

    I've had no issues connecting to a hidden SSID before, I would assume it is a driver or entry issue. SSID must be EXACTLY as it would be broadcasted, or you will not connect. Sounds like you have that sorted already with your iPhone though.

    Have you tried this solution for adding a hidden network to Windows 10?

    Seems pretty odd, not much out there..one MS article states to try older WiFi drivers and for some reason to install updated keyboard drivers (LOL). I'd try the 380.63 driver as you said you haven't yet and report back when you can.

    I just checked with my work laptop, a Lenovo Carbon X1 2016, and it connects to Win 10 hidden SSID's just fine... 2.4 and 5.0GHz networks, N and AC. I have an Intel AC-8620 though...

    Do you have the current 380. 63?

    Also when the network is not hidden I'm assuming the device in question can connect fine?
