    Why does notification box say wifi needs attention?


    Every so often I get a notification in the notification box that my wifi needs attention. Clicking on the notification brings me to Settings>WiFi, but as there is no indication what's wrong or what to do, I'm at a loss what to do next. As far as I can tell my wifi is functioning properly.

    :)

  2. Wi-Fi Connection

    In the WiFi tab, there is a 'notify me when new networks are found' check box. That does drop a notification down from the top of the screen when it finds one, but that doesn't stay there. You have to see it drop and tap it, and it will take you into the
    WiFi setings to accept that network. You of course just need to leave WiFi on.

    Why does the Cortana box say "I'm Cortana. Ask me anything." when she is being set up?

    What do you think she should say?

    Why does notification box say wifi needs attention?

    Are you on your own network or a public network when this happens? Post a screenshot of the message, along with if you are running any third party security software, since that can cause issues. The other would be a IP conflict maybe that is popping that message.

    I'm on my own network and use Avast Internet Security. I'll post a screen shot of the message the next time it appears.

    Do not need a screenshot. Check to see if Avast has flagged your network as a Unsafe or Public Wifi. Third Party Security software is the first item to diagnose for something happening. If you disable Avast or uninstall, then the problem should fix itself. Avast, AVG and a few others have been known to cause this isue.

    Thanks. I think I can live with the false alert. Better to have than not to use Avast.
