Wi-Fi Connection Error. Can't Connect to One Specific Wi-Fi

Windows10. There are some usable Wi-Fi in a house, but I cannot connect to one specific Wi-Fi. When I try to connect that Wi-Fi it says "can't connect this network" even though my phone and other devices can connect to that Wi-Fi. If I unplug the Wi-Fi
router and re-plug in after 10 to 15 second, I can connect that Wi-Fi. However, it sometimes stops suddenly while I am using that. Then I need to reconnect to that Wi-Fi but can't do it unless unplug and re-plug in again. I tried troubleshooting but didn't
work. I can use and connect to other Wi-Fi but I don't know why this specific Wi-Fi can't be connected.

 

Wifi

Are you trying to connect to a home Wi-Fi or does this happen to any Wi-Fi connection? Have you tried connecting to a free Wi-Fi hotspot?

 

Hi Alzbitz. Welcome to the TenForums @Alzbitz

You said laptop was updated, could you expand. Did Windows install a cumulative update or did you go from Anniversary Update to Creator Update or .... ?

I never know everyone's technical level, if you've performed these steps already just ignore.

Is adapter showing in Device Manager? If it is there is there an error code?

Next check that Airplane is off. Click on notification symbol lower right, action center should open.

Next check that physical switch is in on position. Most laptops today have a way to enable and disable wireless embedded in function keys, not sure which F key is yours. Usually little stick antenna with waves on either side.

Next I would run a Network Reset, Click Start=>Settings=>Network & Internet=> scroll down right side to bottom, Network Reset

Next I would unplug laptop, remove battery, hold power key for 20 seconds. Wait a minute or two. Reassemble and test.
