Windows 10: Network problems

Hardware: Alienware running Windows 10, wifi: Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 2230

Symptoms:
1)Under "Manage wifi settings", there is no choice for "Manage known networks".
2)Each time I reboot, the wifi network is not remembered, even though I clicked "connect automatically". Password input required.
3)There is no button for "wireless properties" in the "wifi status" window.

Tried:
1)Uninstalling/reinstalling latest manufacturer's wireless driver
2)Uninstalling/reinstalling wireless adapter
3)Numerous other things.

Any suggestions?

start menu stopped working

Cannot get start menu to pop up. Worked till yesterday, now won't. Turned off computer and back on - still won't work

 

Network printer offline; private network problems

Problem finally resolved:

Somehow in the elimination of the "home" network, the ARISS router "AP" setting was turned on; setting up each device as its own private network. Although the Windows 7 and XP and Apple devices could see each other (and the printer work) the Windows 10 devices
could not see each other.

The ARISS router has been reset; the firewalls restored; and the system works. Let's hope we don't need to go through this process with the next "update".

Thanks all for you help.

 

Try disabling the power options on the wifi adapter in device manager? (Device manager> right click the intel wifi 2230 > properties > power management> uncheck 'allow the computer to turn off this device to save power' > click ok) . I saw you updated the driver via Intel, did you use the 'proset' version? (I came across someone else with a similar problem who installed the proset specifically and it helped).

 

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried changing the power option, no luck. I did download the proset version. The lastest version I could find (15.18.0.1) is dated May, 2015. I even tried going back to the original driver (Windows 7-wifi worked back then). Again, no change.
