Windows 10: My wifi is suddenly very weak after the recent Windows update on my Dell laptop. All other...

I recently ran the Windows update on my Dell laptop and now I can’t get a wifi signal unless I’m literally right next to my router. All other devices show full strength. It worked great before the update. I’ve reset multiple times and no change. Help appreciated!

Windows Update suddenly hangs?

Windows Update is suddenly hanging for some reason... I went and downloaded and installed the first bunch of updates, restarted when asked, and now when I go back to windows update I just get the window with a white box forever. Reboot and it still does it. This happens to be on my main machine, running windows 7.

I've also noticed when I reboot it says configuring windows update, step 3 of 3, 47%. Maybe it somehow skipped something and is screwed forever?

 

2 laptops suddenly cannot log onto wifi.

Have 2 Win-10 laptops that were doing fine - Nighthawk R700P set up many months ago. Suddenly both cannot log onto wifi. Going to list of available networks, choosing "home" and disconnecting and then reconnect does not help. Suggestions? Not the greatest computer wizards here.

Lenovo laptop wanted latest Windows update; upon rebooting everything seems fine. Other machine is actually an HP all-o\in-one, not actual laptop - but Win10 anyway. Will check if update is needed.

Now HP is OK as well. Problem began there yesterday and on Lenovo today but now both seem OK. Curiouser & curiouser as Alice said; sorry to have taken up your time.

 

Wifi signal weak due to a security update

Hi Ashlesh,



The issue with Wi-Fi connectivity could be caused by the recent update, indeed. It could also be caused by an issue on your router or your ISP. To resolve your concern, please provide the following information:

• Were you able to try another device on WiFi? Is it also having the same issue, or not?
• When you are connected via hardwired connection, are you getting the usual speed that you used to have?
• Are you having drop-out connection on WiFi, or just weak signal?

Regards.
