Windows 10: Failed connection to WiFi after sleep/hibernate

After some time for some reasons I am experiencing some issues with my WiFi. After I turn on my laptop from sleep/hibernate the WiFi isn't connected.




Sometimes I should wait couple of minutes to come to life and sometimes I even have to restart my laptop to get my WiFi working.

However, if I DO NOT restart my laptop and IT IS connected to the internet I can only see only my own network, even though there are more in the range.




As I said, a simple restart resolves everything - till the next time.

This wasn't the issue couple of days ago. It appeared out of nowhere. During that time the laptop didn't got any physical damage, updated it's up-to-date, installed/updated drivers, installed new software, added new programs to startup, new services, etc etc.


I tried removing all known networks in case that was the problem because I updated my router's firmware and the same network was recognized as a separate network. Apparently that wasn't the issue and removing known networks didn't solve the issue.

Sleep,hibernate, and shutdown

Hi,

Usually, Sleep and Hibernate features are used to save power when using a computer. However, hibernate may not be available for all PCs as it was designed for laptops. Regarding your concern, since you’re trying to turn
off or disable these features, you may follow the step below:

• To turn off Sleep:
  
  Go to Settings > System > Power & sleep. Then, select
  Never from the drop-down list under the Sleep section.
  
  
  
  
  
• To disable Hibernate:
  

• Type Command Prompt in the Search box from
  Start.
• Right-click on it, then select Run as administrator.
• In the Command Prompt window, type powercfg.exe /hibernate off and press
  Enter. Close the window.

We’re just here if you need further help.

 

sleep or hibernate

I think you have sleep and hibernate confused... sleep just puts the computer in a low power state, making resuming the session faster... hibernate shuts down the whole computer and basically just saves whats in RAM to the hdd and loads it on next startup. IIRC...
