    It started about a week or so ago, my PC would take a minute to connect to the home WiFi after boot up. But then one morning I open my computer, which was on all night and worked the night before I typically leave it on and it wasn't connected. The WiFi was not in the available networks list, but it was in known networks. It refused to have an option to connect. I have looked at all these threads and tried everything and they didn't work. I finally reset the router and it actually showed up as a available network, but had me re sign in. Then it worked. But the next day I wake it up, same iss

    my son laptiop wifi disconnect after 5 minutes

    • If you have an identical laptop try comparing the wifi and security settings of the one that does not disconnect with the one that does. If you find any differences change the settings of the one that does not work to the one that does.
    @Samuria : If you have any suggestions please reply.

    My wifi keeps disconnecting

    Hi, I am an Independent Advisor.

    Let me help you with this issue.

    I understand that your wifi keeps disconnecting.

    To fix this please follow the steps below.

    Please hover your mouse to the Network or Wireless icon at the lower right-hand corner then right-click it and click Troubleshoot Network. Let the troubleshooter finish until it's done then this should either fix the problem or give us an error message.

    If that doesn't work, we need to remove the WIFI driver from the Device Manager and restart the pc to reinstall it.

    Here are the steps to completely remove a Device from your computer.

    Step 1. Use shortcut keys Windows key+ X on Windows 10.

    Step 2. Select Device Manager.

    Step 3. Expand the entry for Network Adapters, Right-click the problematic device it is either Intel Wireless or Realtek WIFI adapter, and select Uninstall device.

    Step 4. You need to check the option Delete the driver software for this device and then click the Uninstall button.

    Step 5. Reboot the computer.

    After the reboot, please see if the problem is fixed.

    If that still does not work, please visit the support website of your laptop or desktop and then download and install the latest Wireless driver then restart the PC.

    Now the problem is each time I go and disable the connection manually and then enable it does restore the connectivity. Why should I do this ? What is the problem as what is happening.

    I thought power management to be a problem so I checked
    How to Check if Connected or Disconnected Modern Standby in Windows 10
    Here is a screenshot of powercg /a on my system

    30 days before reading this tutorial Add Networking connectivity in Standby to Power Options in Windows 10 I had added the option to add network connectivity in standby mode. By using the following command powercfg -attributes F15576E8-98B7-4186-B944-EAFA664402D9 -ATTRIB_HIDE
    as mentioned in option one of tutorial.
    However if you see the powercfg /a output
    my system does not have support by firmware
    Code:
    so I hope that did not work. Later on after all this my system performance was not good due to other reasons.
    So I used media creation tool and on that there was an option to upgrade I choose that, the laptop seem to be formatted for system files (that is my understanding if something else happened then I do not know).
    All the settings and apps and device drivers were present as it is.
    I again after a couple of days used media creation tool

    So all settings I think got erased.
    However this is not the cause of my problem I am just mentioning to understand what I did.
    2 things I want to know
    1) What is the cause of my network connectivity problems while mobile phones are connected and they don't disconnect in this Wifi network but Laptop does.

    2) How to backup my existing device drivers if I format the system.

    I am on
    Windows version 1909 (OS Build 18363.592)
