    Despite numerous troubleshootings attempted, WiFi on OEM Windows 10 acts irratic and hangs...


    I have a preinstalled OEM version of Windows 10 Home on my relatively new Lenovo IdeaPad 520S-14IKB 7th gen Core i5.

    Of late the WiFi has been working with a life of it's own - sometimes hangs without being touched, and at other times would hang when switching between.

    The behavior is entirely erratic, some of the times the default 'troubleshoot' tools would work, sometimes not.

    Have already tried the following methods a number of times, without much avail:

    Network troubleshooter followed by networking commands
    Disabling and Enabling the network adapter driver (Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265 Ver 20.50.2.1 at present)


    Going to Adapter properties and unchecking the 'Allow computer to turn off this device to save power' from Power Management tab.

    Disabling the automatic 'Battery Saver' option in the system settings for 'Power/Battery management' options

    Installing all the latest Windows Updates, as well as Hardware Updates

    Updating network adapter driver


    Uninstalling the network adapter driver and restart

    Using 'Network Reset' to reinstall network devices


    Nothing seems to work, and its almost guaranteed that the moment I try to change between available wifi networks, the thing will just hang. When hung, for an unpredictable time, nothing will first show up on clicking the wifi tray icon. Then the same action would only show a marquee of moving dots, giving suspicion that something might be on, but it would still neither connect nor show any available networks while several may be actually available. Then when that would go away, it will show WiFi button greyed out and a drop-down that will give options to connect:- Manually, or after 1 hr, or after 2 hrs, etc.; but nothing to connect immediately. At this stage, right-clicks on the WiFi tray icon to access 'troubleshoot' would bring up nothing. Then, at some odd times accessing all system settings and from there, the Troubleshooting option from the 'Network & Internet' setting will, for once, reset the adapter and rectify the problem. But as soon as I try switching between available networks, the thing will just hang again and the above scenario would repeat itself.


    What can I do?

  2. Windows 10 acting irratically.

    Last week my computer started acting irratically and a message appeared on my screen that said that the last update was not playing well with ad blocker programs. It suggested that I disable my ad blocker program until microsoft can fix the problem. Has
    this issue been resolved? Also, I leave my computer on over night so that updates can be installed. Today when I tried to wake up my computer it wouldn't. I had to manually shut down my computer and restart it. Has anybody had this issue?

    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
