Windows 10: [Question] the ability to connect to wifi is just totally gone?

this happened about a month ago. I opened my computer for the first time that day, and I just couldn’t connect to the internet. the little wifi symbol on the bottom bar was gone, and opening the wifi panel through settings just displayed a blank panel. I tried checking out my drivers, deleted and reinstalled them many times, and had no result. I ended up buying a cheap wireless USB adapter, and then another one not long later, because the original just stopped functioning. this newer one just stopped working, which is what prompted this post. Does anyone know what this problem is? And how I can fix it? I don’t want to be constantly buying new adapters, and it would be much nicer to be able to fix it all without needing a huge antenna sticking out of my USB port

(This is a repost from two hours ago, I failed to flair it previously and couldn’t locate the flair button for some reason)

wifi connection problem

Hi,

To better assist you with the WiFi connection issue, please answer the following questions:

• Are your other devices able to connect to the same WiFi connection and working fine?
• Have you tried to restart your WiFi router?
• Which OS build version is currently running to your phone?
• What are the troubleshooting steps that you've tried so far?

Regards.

 

When will the wifi connectivity problems be solved?

Hi Wabbles and welcome to Tenforums.

I've got 4 systems connecting via wireless; all adapters are different makes; all have zero issues, and two of them are old (wireless-G only). Most every issue I have seen with wireless connections has been driver-related. (Or, impending router failure.) I would suggest identifying your adapter model/make, and searching for different drivers that you can try out. And, sometimes an older driver works better than a newer one (just had this issue on a system I was working on yesterday). Also, verify you have these same connection issues when connecting to different routers, just to rule that out.

OK, so the Windows 10 engineers bollixed up the wifi connectivity part of the operating system. Everybody knows that by now. It seems they are making some progress in resolving it. Now, instead of seeing "Secured, No Internet" on your list of wifi connections, you see "Connected, Secured" EXCEPT no webpages will load. So you really aren't connected. It does seem to be a step in the right direction. Does anybody know when they plan on a full and complete repair of this screw up of epic proportions?
