  1. Problem with Wifi


    I set up my PC some weeks ago dual-booting Win10 and Fedora (Linux). Everything went well until recently, when Win10 suddenly could not connect to wifi. It still worked fine in Fedora. I am unfamiliar with Win10, a complete noob, so to say. So on Win10 I went though the troubleshooting routine, which advised I unplug the wifi dongle, and plug it in again, which solved the problem.

    However, the next time I booted into Win10, again it could not connect to wifi, so I went through the troubleshooting, and hey presto! It worked. But the third time I logged into Win10, again it could not connect to the wifi.

    So I don't want to do this every time I log onto Win10. Any ideas what could be wrong? The only clue I have is that Win10 does see the wifi router, it just can't connect. In addition, it sometimes (but not always) asks me for the wifi password, but doesn't accept it. However, when I go through the troubleshooting routine, everything works fine.

    Wifi and browser problems with windows 10


    I'll tell you how I fixed an identical problem on a ASUS laptop that had run perfectly on Windows 7 and ran well on W10 from January until the Anniversary update in early August. I tried everything I found on this forum and two others. Nothing worked. The last thing someone suggested was disabling the adapter and using a WiFi dongle. Problem continued. Nobody suggested changing the wireless network adapter. I bought and installed an Intel 7260 WiFi card and just used the driver which was downloaded on the reboot after the install. All problems solved!!

    I must have wasted two months reading and trying everything. Even the manufacturer support inferred I needed a new machine though they sent me a Windows 8.1 driver to try, with the same result.

    I'd suggest contacting the manufacturer to determine if they white list any cards and see if they have suggestions for a compatible card. They may want you to buy another laptop but if the cards aren't white listed, a simple card swap to one compatible with Windows 10 seems to be the answer.

    Windows 10 1709 System Restore problems...

    That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
    a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
    b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

    I suggest Option 1 is easier.

    If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.
