Windows 10: re-enable 'do not show pop-up' window for external wifi adapter

I have a USB wifi adapter, for which I accidently chose wrong configuration and checked 'do not show pop-up', check box. How do i re-enable the pop-up and change the configuration?

WiFi Adapter question

To be honest, I keep losing my wifi connection and Im almost positive its not due to my internet connection or Router or anything like that. VERY often, everyday, all day it keeps happening. The troubleshooter always resolves it by "reset wifi-adapter" (I believe this is the step it takes that resolves the problem) before it happens again anyways. Its driving me nuts ! Most time when it suddenly goes out (the connection) all the networks that should be in "show available networks" or all but the one I was connected to, disappear. I run the troubleshooter and it ends in resetting the wifi adapter. And it works. 10 minutes later, it happens again. Im trying to pin down the problem here. Thank you for your help.

 

Wifi adapter disappears - goes 'hidden'


Running Windows 10 on an Acer laptop. Over the past month, the wifi connection dropped without explanation/warning.

First time, the adapter was visible in Device Manager (with a yellow triangle next to it). An interent search found the suggestion to uninstall it and restart. That worked.

Today, the connection dropped again. In Device Manager at first I could not see the wifi adapter listed. I clicked to see hidden devices and found the adapter and the Bluetooth (which I had not noticed was missing).

I again uninstalled, restarted, and both the wifi and bluetooth have returned.

Anyone any ideas as to what is happening, why it's happening, and what I need to do, please?

I have attached a screenshot of the DM windows as it is now, showing the wifi adapter name, etc.

Thanks very much

Double Wifi Adapter Issue on Notification Bar - Windows 10

Hello there,

I have 2 Wifi Adapters on my laptop - the built-in one (shown as "Wi-Fi" by Windows) and a external higher range USB one (shown as Wi-Fi 2). Both adapters are working and able to connect to the several Wifi networks that I have at my disposal.

The problem is that, on the notification bar, I can only see the built-in adapter and, consequently, only the networks in the range of that adapter are shown. The "Wi-Fi 2" adapter is only displayed on the "Network Settings" window and I can only connect/disconnect
to/from networks visible by this adapter by going there.

If I turn off the built-in adapter, while having the external adapter enabled (common setup for me), then the Wi-Fi button on the notification bar doesn't show any available network listing at all, even though the networks are in range. Please see screen
capture below: Wi-Fi 2 adapter is enabled with networks in range, but notification button doesn't list them, even-though it shows that networks are available



On Windows 8.1, clicking on the Wifi button in the notification area, would show both adapters and give me the chance to turn either of them off or see the networks in range of any of the two adapters directly. Now it only displays that info for the built-in
adaptor if it's ON, otherwise it won't show anything at all, even if the external adapter is ON and seeing networks.

Is there anything I can do to have Windows 8.1 behavior back?

Thanks,

Louie.
