    I’ve been having a couple problems with my computer including constant booting errors and now this. For the booting errors, it basically just takes forever to boot and I end up having to reboot my laptop until it goes into automatic repair mode, but now this has happened. The sound icon has an x over it and the WiFi option has completely disappeared. I’ve tried about everything on google and nothing seems to work. I’ve even tried factory resetting the laptop, but due to the booting errors, it never works. I’ll link a few Imgur links for reference but If anyone can help or refer me to someone who can, I’d be happy! If you need any more images, I can provide as much as needed.

    Unable to Join Homegroup either on Laptop or Desktop


    Hello,

    After upgrading both Desktop & Laptop to Win 10, I am not able to JOIN Homegroup. Both computers show the option Homegroup: READY TO CREATE. Nomally when a Homegroup is created through one of the computers in network, Second or other computers should show it as READY TO JOIN. But that is not happening.

    Internet works on the both computers. I can even see each other computer in Network. But Laptop, most of the times, is unable to open up shared Desktop and shows Path error.

    Using TP Link MR3420 Wifi Router. DHCP enabled.
    Desktop using Belkin Wifi Dongle to connect to wifi network.
    Laptop (Lenovo) has builtin Wifi.

    Any suggestions/solution please ?

    Cannot turn on wireless adapter after clean install of Win10

    A couple years ago I upgraded my brother's Lenovo T420 Thinkpad from Win7 to Win10. All went well. No issues at all. Skip to present. For some reason the system would not boot to Windows. I opted to do a clean install. That went without issue, except now I cannot seem to turn on the wireless adapter / radio.

    • Windows Wifi settings radio is ON
    • Checked physical switch on side - ON
    • Checked BIOS - Nothing there
    • Checked Wireless ON/Off function key. They seem to work with other functions. Just do not turn on or off the wireless radio.
    • Went to Intel website and installed latest driver for the adapter
    • Went to Lenovo website. They do not offer Windows 10 support/driver etc for this model. When I try using their automated scanner to select the correct drivers and utilities it locks up. I assume because I am running Win10 and Win10 is not supported.
    • Since the original WIn7 x64 drivers and utilities worked before I was going to manually download and install, but their nomenclature is confusing. Software is listed Thinkpad, Laptop, Desktop, ThinkCentre. This is a Thinkpad laptop. Which do I download?

    The bottom line is that the wireless adapter worked fine after upgrade from Win7, but will not turn on since the clean install of Win10.

    Does anyone have any suggestions other than tell my brother I broke his laptop *Eek

    trying to join a homegroup with my new Dell XPS 15 Laptop

    Hi,

    There are different factors that can contribute to the concern why your computer is not able to join the HomeGroup properly. For us to resolve your concern kindly answer the questions below:

    • Aside from the error message you mentioned, were there any other error messages that showed up when you attempted to connect the laptop to the HomeGroup?
    • Are both devices on the same network? If they are, is this through a WiFi connection or LAN connection?

    As a initial recommendation, we suggest that to follow these steps to run the Windows built in troubleshooter:

    • Type Troubleshooting
      in the search box and hit enter.
    • Select the Troubleshooting app.
    • Select the view all option on the upper left corner.
    • Look for the Homegroup option from the list and select it.
    • Click Next to run the Troubleshooter.

    We look forward to your response once you complete the steps.
