  1. My PC forgets how to use WiFi


    Hi guys, I need some serious help before I throw my PC from the window. As the title says, my laptop forgets how to use wifi. I'm not joking, it randomly disconnects, and in the control center the wifi icon sometimes disappeares too, sometimes doesn't find any wifi network, sometimes it just refuses to connect. The worst part is that it happens like every 10 minutes or so. My laptop is totally unusable, and I have to use it because of videolessons. The only solution I was able to find is to use the troubleshooting tool of Windows, which takes several minutes to reset my wireless card and then it starts to work, except that it lasts like 10 to 20 minutes. I have tried everything: I checked for updates, optional updates, I used an app to search for drivers updates, I uninstalled wifi drivers, tried not to update them, I also resetted the whole PC yesterday, which I hoped would have fixed it, except that this morning the PC has had the same problem 5 times in just 2 hours, which is annoying as hell. If you guys have any idea on how to fix this problem once and for all, I would really appreciate it, because I really need it and I can't disconnect during lessons (it happens also during written and oral tests). Also I can't use a cable, because the laptop doesn't have an Ethernet port and the cable is not near to where I use the laptop.

  2. Forget a WiFi Network

    Hi Jess,

    Windows 10 saves a list of Wi-Fi networks you connect to along with their passwords and other settings. If you want to manage or delete a certain network, just follow the steps provided below:

    • Type Settings on the search box.
    • Click Network & Internet.
    • Click Wi-Fi on the left pane of the Network & Internet window.
    • Click Manage Wi-Fi settings.
    • Select the network name and click Forget.

    Note: Since you can't remember the network name you've connected with, you can consider forgetting all saved Wi-Fi networks on your PC.

    Let us know how it goes.
