Windows 10: Wi-Fi slow on startup after factory reset, I have chat history from microsoft support

Hello. My problem is what the title says. When I login and start an app, that app takes 4-5 minutes to connect to the internet and display content, after that everything runs smoothly, but closing the app brings back the problem. every app has to go through the process of waiting 5 minutes to connect, and sadly some that I need to use time out and don't give me the option to wait. I already tried updating the drivers, and support was controlling my computer and did the Hkey stuff and made sure windows was up to date too. I was escalated to a level 3 technician and now I cannot use the chat

Slow wi-fi

My laptop, with Windows 10, runs extremely slow on Wi-fi - about 15 Mbps. The warranty dept at Costco is suggesting running Windows 10 back to the factory default. Do you think this will help? I'm thinking it must be a hardware issue, specifically the
network card?

 

Trouble Changing Wi-Fi Password


I've been following the following steps to change my Wi-Fi password for some time:

1. Launch Control Panel.
2. Click "Network and Internet."
3. Click "Network and Sharing Center."
4. Click "Wi-Fi...."
5. Click "Wireless Properties."
6. Click the Security tab.
7. Check "Show characters."
8. Enter the password in "Network security key."

Those steps have been working just fine, but today I discovered a new wrinkle. If I change the password inside the router first, "Wi-Fi..." doesn't appear in step 4. This isn't much of a problem at home, because I can just change the password in Control Panel before I change it inside the router, but it would be a problem at a public hotspot, or something of that nature. I also tested Brink's instructions in "How to Connect To a Wireless Network in Windows 10," but they don't work for me either. How can I fix this?

 

Windows 10 and no wi-fi
