    Laptop would not reconnect to wifi at random after reopening the lid (or from hibernate)


    Dell Inspiron 15 7000 series that would drop wifi constantly at some point before 1903 update.

    Currently still at 1903 build 18362.1016. Been having this issue where wifi would randomly not connect back to wifi when opening the lid. Reinstalling older wifi card driver or newest driver remains the same.

    WiFi disconnects, must close and reopen laptop to reconnect

    Hey everyone,

    I'm a college kid who has been having major issues with my laptop, I'm desperate for some help.

    The problems:
    My Wifi cuts out at random, and after that my laptop won't reconnect- or connect to any wifi- until I either close the lid, wait for the green light to go off, then reopen, or I restart. This always temporarily fixes the problem. (This actually happened when I first tried to submit this post, so I have to retype the whole thing *Sad. This happens within anywhere from 10 minutes to a few hours from when I reconnect to wifi, and it seems to be somewhat correlated to me opening new tabs (or submitting a new post *Mad). I don't use my laptop for anything other than casual browsing and school work, so I don't have any weird programs that might cause this. No single event started this, but it's been happening for months. I'd really appreciate any help.

    My system info:
    OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 HomeVersion 10.0.14393 Build 14393Other OS Description Not AvailableOS Manufacturer Microsoft CorporationSystem Name DESKTOP-8UUH9ORSystem Manufacturer ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.System Model X751LABSystem Type x64-based PCSystem SKU ASUS-NotebookSKUProcessor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-5200U CPU @ 2.20GHz, 2197 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)BIOS Version/Date American Megatrends Inc.

    Intel(R) HD Graphics 5500.

    Let me know if I need to provide any more information, preferably tell me how to provide that, too (complete computer noob).

    Thank you all so much, I'd be so grateful for any help.

    Laptop restarts after closing the lid

    Hi,

    It appears that your laptop hibernates when you close its lid. This feature terminates running processes on your machine since it allows the system to use very little power. If
    Do nothing is already selected for Choose what closing the lid does
    in Power Options, let's try to make hibernation unavailable. Follow these steps:

    • Right-click on the Windows icon on your home screen.
    • Select Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Click Yes if you get a prompt window.
    • Type powercfg.exe /hibernate off then press Enter.
    See if this will prevent the laptop from hibernating when you close the lid.

    Let us know how it turns out.
