Windows 10: Connecting to an unknown Wi-Fi hotspot destroys computer

Hello, everybody!

So, I've been having this strange, strange problem, that came out of nowhere.

Whenever I try to connect to a WiFi that was already memorized in Windows 10, I can do it without a problem.

But when I try to connect to an unknown hotspot, protected or not, it will always display "Checking network requirements..." like forever (doesn't even show up the "Connection failed, forget" menu). Then, the wierdness starts. My computer (laptop) starts to crash, menus start to get really slow, I get no response from the UI, and it gets to the point where nothing works and the only solution is to force shutdown by pressing the power button.

I already tried to forget all networks, but it changed nothing. My Wireless Drivers are also set up and up to date. Wired connections work.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

:)

Are you trying to connect to a home Wi-Fi or does this happen to any Wi-Fi connection? Have you tried connecting to a free Wi-Fi hotspot?

 

hotspot won't work

Hi kevvy,

What is the model number of your Nokia phone? Are you trying to connect to a Wi-Fi hotspot or use the internet sharing feature on your phone? If you are having issues connecting to a Wi-Fi hotspot area, does it happen to a specific one or to all the hotspot
that you are trying to connect? Or if this is not about connecting to a Wi-Fi hotspot, please provide us more details so we can further assist you.

 

Bump, I don't really know what to do *Sad
