    Laptop losing access to all Wi-Fi networks after 30 seconds up on restarting laptop


    I’ve been struggling with this issue for a few days and even after doing a factory reset the issue still persists. I am unable to turn off the laptop normally and need to do a hard shutdown to get it to turn off. When attempting to update my drivers it says that are all up to date on windows. All the rest of my devices are working with the internet flawlessly. Please help!

    :)

    Win 10 Laptop Looses Wi-Fi on restart / reboot

    Windows 10 laptop will not accept or even recognize a Wi-Fi wireless network 90% of its startups.
    The laptop is as follows:



    HP Pavilion 17 Notebook PC

    Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4210U CPU @ 1.70GH 2.40 GHz

    System Type: 64-bit OS, x64-based processor

    RAM: 12.0 GB



    Windows 10 Home; Version 1809



    First steps:



    1. Network Adapters:
      1. Bluetooth Device (Personal Area Network) #2
      2. Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller
      3. WAN Miniport (IKEv2)
      4. WAN Miniport (IP)
      5. WAN Miniport (IPv6)
      6. WAN Miniport (L2TP)
      7. WAN Miniport (Network Monitor)
      8. WAN Miniport (PPPOE)
      9. WAN Miniport (PPTP)
      10. WAN Miniport (SSTP)



        This issue has been going on for several months and I am out of ideas.


    2. I have uninstalled all 10 network adapters and tried both rebooting or shutdown the PC for several minutes.
    3. Each network adapter has the current drivers.
    4. I ran the (netsh wlan show wlanreport) but the Profile Output does not list any Wi-Fi profiles stored on the PC.



      If I continue the above listed steps between 1 – 2 hours the Wi-Fi will finally show up.
      Even though it is configured to connect automatically I still have to manually connect it when it finally shows up.



      Second steps:


    1. I called Microsoft and attempted several issues.
      We ended up using the following 5 Registry commands, which corrected the recognition of the Wi-Fi for several restarts.
      1. Netsh Winsock reset
      2. Netsh int ip reset
      3. Ipconfig /release
      4. Ipconfig /Renew
      5. Ipconfig /flushdns


    2. However, after a couple of days the lack of Wi-Fi failed again.
      I was able to run the 5 registry commands (listed above) and correct the issue several times HOWEVER, everything changed today.
    3. TODAY – I ran the registry sittings, I deleted all 10 Network Adapters, I restarted or rebooted the laptop each time.
      The bottom line is it took me over 2 hours to finally get the laptop to recognize the Wi-Fi.



      ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. MICROSOFT FIND AND FIX THIS/ THESE ISSUES FOR ALL………..



      I am totally out of ideas and yes I run anti-virus and Malware protection.
      Any new ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    One device can't connect to 2.4GHz Wi-FI

    AcerA515-45 Windows 10 Pro 22H2 Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4A Wireless Network Adapter I have no idea when this issue started but my laptop no longer connects to 2.4GHZ Wi-Fi - "unable to connect to this network". I can connect to 5GHz Wi-Fi and to 2.4GHz using an ethernet cable but not 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. I have two separate networks: one is my regular ISP and the other is Starlink. I can't connect to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi on either of them so it doesn't appear to have anything to do with the ISPs or the routers. All other devices (laptop, phone, tablet, TV, PlayStation, Android TV dongle) can connect to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, it's only my laptop that can't. Things I've tried so far. Some I know to do, others are online suggestions: 1) Power off the router. Wait 30 seconds then restart. 2) Remove the 2.4GHZ networks from Manage Known Networks. 3) Uninstall the Adapter Driver. Reboot PC for it to reinstall. 4) Disconnect from all Wi-Fi access points, set PC to Flight Mode. Open Command Prompt as administrator and enter ipconfig /flushdns, then enter sfc.exe /scannow. When the scan completes shut down PC, wait about 30 seconds, then restart PC. 5) Update the drivers via Device Manager - Automatic (no updates available) and Browse > Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer. Tried the two that were in the list: Microsoft and Qualcomm. 6) Turn off "Allow the computer to turn off the device to save energy" in adapter Properties under Power Management. 7) Made sure the Preferred Band in the Advanced adapter Properties isn't set to Prefer 5GHZ Band. I even tried setting it to Prefer 2.4GHz Band but no luck. I put it back to the original setting of No Preference. 8) Uninstall VPN.
