Windows 10: Single WiFi Solution Thread?

Interesting ! I will check Farbar if I return to Win10.

Due to continuing limited internet issues after trying multiple methods as mentioned in this forum, I returned to 8.1. Don't think malware related as I did a clean install on a formated drive and multiple scans after. Toshiba laptop (L855S, 3 yrs old) is now working like a champ.

 

Windows usually becomes somewhat usable after the first service pack.
Unfortunately 10 is so messed up, that even SP1 did not help much.
Surprisingly alfa/beta versions worked like a charm, unlike RTM.

 

Completely agree. Both my laptops occasionally get the "missing protocols" error. Usually simply rebooting fixes it but nothing I've found yet completely fixes it - even clean install only works for a while.

I would say though for the last couple of weeks it happens much less often than in early December. Perhaps there has been a (partial) fix but as MS don't say what Windows update patches do we can only guess.

The problem never happened before 1511 release at all - on 10240 or any of the prior insider preview builds.

 

I've just trashed my laptop and rebuilt it with win7 - not changed router or anything. Wifi works like a charm - this tells me there is nothing wrong with my laptop. So .... as wifi does not work when I install win10 where does the problem lie?

 

Is it possible to find out what is happening to this issue(?) - my guess somebody at Microsoft owns this fix, I'm not sure where to go to get the latest info.

 

Does seem like Microsoft would mention the issue. Below note was posted with the latest Insider Build which indicates they are aware of a problem. However, driver does not seem to be the answer.
