Windows 10: Login page won't open on public wifi

Quoting a thread that was locked with no answer in 2018, having the exact same problem now in 2022“I see that this question was asked in the past, but the answer was not helpful to me and the thread was locked so I am trying again.I have a Windows 10 laptop. It connects perfectly fine to my home wifi network, so I feel safe assuming that it has no wifi problem.

Public WiFi login page not showing in Windows 10

None of these things worked for me. Nothing. Tried the uninstall. No internet. Tried the http:// thing, no internet login page. Nothing. I never used to have a problem until the installed the latest update, which took forever about a week ago. Now,
I can't get a login page for any public wifi. Why do some of these suggestions for work for people but not for me? I don't get it. I've run a diagnostics, that's a waste of time.

Any other suggestions? I do not have a hot spot with my phone, so I need to access public wifi when I can.

 

Login page won't open on public wifi

I see that this question was asked in the past, but the answer was not helpful to me and the thread was locked so I am trying again.

I have a Windows 10 laptop. It connects perfectly fine to my home wifi network, so I feel safe assuming that it has no wifi problem. Almost every time I am away from home, however, I try connecting to an "open" wifi network that is supposed to automatically
open a sign-in page (to which I have the password). I AM able to connect to the network, but I can't open any web pages because the login page hasn't opened.

Of course I tried googling the problem when I was at home and connected, and tried all the tips I could find. Here's what didn't work so far, so don't bother suggesting it:

- Turning off and restarting Wifi

- Turning off and restarting computer

- Turning off firewall

- Turning off pop-up blocker (which is silly advice, these things are always page redirects not popups)

- Clearing cookies etc

- Making Edge the default app for http/https

- Making Chrome the default app for http/https

- Opening a Chrome incognito window and trying to get a website

- Typing in address bar 1.1.1.1 or the other number combinations suggested on other troubleshooting sites

- Asking network admin for help (most of the time not available, but the few times I was able to ask someone all they could tell me was that nobody else seemed to have a problem)

What's next?! And why am I having these problems with a fairly new, otherwise functional, fully up-to-date computer? This is VERY frustrating and has resulted in a whole lot of wasted time!

 

Public WiFi login page not showing in Windows 10

I was having the same issue, tried multiple WIFI networks but none would trigger the web browser automatic login page to open meaning I couldn’t connect.

I had Nord VPN installed on my computer which was running in the background.

When I closed the program and reponened the browser it instantly connected to the login page.

I’d suggest trying the same thing if you have any VPN software installed on your computer.
