  1. How to fix my computer's ability to connect to wifi?


    My computer Windows 11, Dell laptop has stopped connecting to my wifi. Any time I restart my computer it connects to it for a moment, but then seems to automatically disconnect. When I try to open the wifi settings through the task bar or by going through the settings, it either doesn't show up or won't load. Is there anyway I can fix this? All my other devices connect to my router just fine so it isn't the problem.

    :)

    WiFi Connectivity unstable on Windows 10 Computer

    Hi Wilf,

    It's possible that some settings on your computer were affected after installing an upgrade since you mentioned that this intermittent network connection that you're experiencing only started after that. We'd like to learn more about your concern so we could
    provide the proper resolution. We just have a few questions for you:

    • Which build version of Windows 10 is on your computer? To check, click
      Start
      , type winver, and press Enter.
    • Are other devices able to connect to your WiFi network without any problems?
    • Have you checked with your Internet Service provider if there are any outages in your area?
    We also suggest that you go through each and every troubleshooting step recommended in this article:

    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.
