Windows 10: Have to manually switch my WiFi connection on every day

Hello!


A few days ago I had a slight hiccup with my device; it disconnected from the WiFi, and had the message "wireless capability is turned off". I did some looking around and found the solution; now my device works perfectly fine.


The only thing is, whenever I first start my device up in the morning, it has disconnected itself from the WiFi, and I have to connect it; it only happens the first time I switch it on, and it works fine after that for the day.

The thing there is, I always have it set to "connect automatically when in range".


I've had a look again at the solution I used the first time around, and I'm wondering if I have to click the box I disabled the last time to get things working again. For reference, here's what I did to fix it first time around:


1. I went in to "View network connections"

2. I right-clicked my WiFi connection and chose "Properties", then "Configure"

3. Under "Power Management", I deselected "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"


That's the guide I followed, and it seems to have worked. The only trouble now is as I mentioned above; if I were to look at my network connections now and right-click the WiFi, it says "Disabled", so clearly it's working.


Is there a way to stop it from disconnecting from the WiFi the first time I switch my device on? I can still get it to connect, but it should already be connected when I switch it on, as it used to be.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is it possible to set up a new manual wifi connection from the command line?

I'm trying to work out a solution to set up ad-hock wifi connections in Windows 8.1 based on the suggestions in a post on Micsrosoft's answers site. Is there any way to do the first few steps:

• go to "Network and Sharing Center"
  
• click "Set up a new connection or network"
  
• double click "Manually connect to a wireless network"
  
• enter the SSID of the ad-hoc network (as shown by "netsh wlan show networks") into the "Network name" field
  
• configure security settings accordingly
  
• uncheck "Start this connection automatically" (important)
  

...without using the windows dialogs?

 

When will the wifi connectivity problems be solved?


OK, so the Windows 10 engineers bollixed up the wifi connectivity part of the operating system. Everybody knows that by now. It seems they are making some progress in resolving it. Now, instead of seeing "Secured, No Internet" on your list of wifi connections, you see "Connected, Secured" EXCEPT no webpages will load. So you really aren't connected. It does seem to be a step in the right direction. Does anybody know when they plan on a full and complete repair of this screw up of epic proportions?

Hi Karloi, Andrea,

Experiencing issues with WiFi connection may have something to do with the device driver, the WiFi switch may be turned off, or possible that the wireless adapter has been disabled. To help us determine what may have caused this problem, we suggest running
the Network troubleshooter. Follow these steps:

• In the Cortana search, type in Troubleshoot and click it in the search result.
  
• In the right pane, click Network Adapter.
• Click Run the troubleshooter.
• Follow the on-screen instructions.
