  1. Why is my Windows 11 PC non-functional when WiFi is switched off?


    If I restart or shutdown my PC with WiFi switched off in Settings, and the router ethernet cable disconnected, the PC will subsequently re-boot and display my normal Desktop, but all file and application icons are non-functional including those in the Taskbar.Because the "Start" icon menu items "Shutdown" and "Restart" are not available, I am forced to power the device down by disconnecting the power cable.To ensure the PC is fully functional, I have to connect the router ethernet cable before restoring power and switching the device back on. Once re-booted the PC then performs normally.In sho

    LapTop Wifi Hard-Switch and Soft wifi switch not functioning after Windows 10 upgrade

    I have a Toshiba LapTop Satellite P755 which was working fine in Windows 8 ..... After Windows 10 upgrade, most Key Board preconfigured functions are not working.

    Particularly and most important all switches are the LapTop Wifi Hard-Switch and Soft wifi switch not functioning ... taken all software and drivers are fine.

    I tried reinstalling the Toshiba hardware setup apps ..... but WiFi hard switch on the keyboard and the soft WiFi check-toggle switch in the Network Internet script are still not functioning as supposedly to be.

    How can I get this resolved ........... hope someone is kind enough to help out.

    Please advise ......... I thank you in advance.

    Fred

    • On the left pane, click on View All.

    • Click on Windows Store apps to run the troubleshooter.

    Non-functioning wifi

    Was this the Version 1703 Update or a Windows Update that caused this? 1) If a Windows Update try to System Restore to a point beforehand: http://home.bt.com/tech-gadgets/com...0-problems-with-system-restore-11364008291943 2) If
    Version Update and the Roll Back isn't offered from Recovery settings try Advanced Startup Options: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/2294-advanced-startup-options-boot-windows-10-a.html 3) See these steps for Fixing Wifi Problems with Version 1703: How to fix any Wi-Fi problem on Windows 10 - Pureinfotech
    4) Also these steps for Fixing Network Connection issues: Fix Wi-Fi connection issues in Windows - Microsoft Support 5) For both the ethernet connection and wireless connection, right click the Network icon in System tray at right
    end of task bar to run the Troubleshooter. What does it report? 6) Type Troubleshoot in Start Search, open Troubleshooters, Run the Internet Connection and Network adapter (on both wireless and Ethernet adapters). 7) Right click Start button to open Device
    Manager, expand Network Adapters, are any in error with a ! mark? Update the drivers for both from the PC or adapter manufacturer's Support Downloads webpage for that exact model. 8) Confirm the wireless switch is on. Most laptops have one, read your Manual
    on the PC's Support Downloads webpage to find out where. If you'll report back results, I'll keep working with you until it's resolved.
