Windows 10: WiFi always says No Internet, connected, every single time I unlock my Windows 10 laptop I...

Every time I unlock it, the WiFi symbol shows the Not connected symbol, and I have to manually click it, and click Connect on my wifi network. Very annoying. Any possible solutions? All drivers are updated to the latest versions.

using mob phone connected to i/net via public wifi to connect laptop


Hi, recently purchased new laptop with windows 10 installed. I currently use public/open wifi connection to connect to the internet for non private surfing (private matters dealt with via payg dongle). However, this open wifi connection can be erratic (whereas previous laptop running windows 7 connected as and when requested). Once connected, it is faultless and speedy enough for my needs. I have also marked this connection as ‘automatic’.
I know that it is not the signal strength, it is simply the initial connection, with which my new laptop seems to struggle with! My screen shows all available networks so is picking up all correct signals. When I click ‘connect’ it will go through the motions for approx 2-3 seconds and then say ‘unable to connect to this network’ and other times, it will say ‘connecting’ and will go through these motions, and will continue to say ‘connecting’ for 15 minutes and longer or until I get sick of waiting!
On the occasions when it does finally ‘connect’, it will begin with a message in the ‘action centre’ saying ‘click on message to connect to open wifi’-it will then go to the open/public wifi homepage and connect-from thereon, I am fine.
Why won’t my laptop connect as easily to open wifi as last machine did on windows 7, and why does it continually say ‘unable to connect to internet’ or remain in ‘connecting’ mode?
A further query I have (apologies) is when my laptop refuses to connect to internet as above, my mobile phone connects to the open wifi easily so I certainly know that it is not the distance that is in question, or the strength of signal-bearing this in mind, is it possible to connect my laptop and mobile phone via usb and possible to use my phone when it is connected to the open wifi source to connect my laptop to internet via this route? If so, would somebody give me step by step instructions to connect this way, please. The phone I currently have is a 3g sony xperia mini pro (which I am sure you can gather I have had for few years now!)
Many thanks for all replies and all assistance is gratefully received.

 

My laptop says it is not connected to the internet but it is

The past week ive noticed my laptop in the bottom right corner has been saying I've got no internet access when I've been connected to wifi and been able to use the internet no problem. This has happened with multiple wifi networks and today it said that
there are connections available but I'm not connected when I was and it recognised that after I clicked the icon to show the list of networks available. When I right click on the button the laptop will recognise that it is connected and there is internet access
so it seems the icon is just wrong. Is there a way to change it to be accurate again?

 

Laptop apps (Settings, Etc) say not connected to network or internet but browser connects to home network and internet

Asus laptop-Windows 10.

Laptop Win 10 built-in apps (Settings, Etc) say not connected to wifi network or internet.

But browser connects to home wifi network and internet, surfs with no problems.

Tried many fixes-->>reloaded win 10, reset PC, ran win 10 troubleshooters for net , internet connections and network adapters, checked all settings, etc, etc.

Same problem exits with ethernet connection.

Suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,

Richard
