    WiFi appears in Manage Known Networks, not in Show Available Networks


    I have two Internet Service Providers at home, one is on fibre and other on landline. Both of them were available on my Desktop, Laptop and iPhone till recently. The fibre of the connection has suddenly disappeared from the Desktop only although it shows in Manage Known Networks. Restoring an earlier image has not helped and Adapter drivers are up-to-date.
    Any suggestions to bring the fibre network back on Desktop? OS is Windows 0 Professional. TIA.

    Available Networks Not Showing

    My list of available wifi networks has suddenly stopped showing in windows 10. The list of networks is not showing when I click the system wifi icon in the notification bar. The list of networks does not show using 'show available networks' in Windows
    Settings. Windows Settings will crash if I go to the WiFi page and select 'Manage Known Networks'.

    I am connected to the internet using my normal WiFi. I created a wlan report. It seems to show that the wlan is working fine. I can list the available networks using the cmd line 'netsh wlan show networks'. They all show up as they should.

    So, it appears the hardware is working but some windows module has stopped working and providing the list of available networks.

    Any ideas how to fix this?

    "show available networks" & "manage known networks" disappeared


    hi! all,

    under "wireless network connection" settings, there are "show available networks" & "manage known networks" options that can be clicked. however, when I tried to click on either option, nothing happens. if I tried to click on the wifi icon on lower right hand corner of the task bar, I could not see available wireless network window either.

    the only way that I can attach to a new wireless network is at the login page and click on the wifi icon, then the available wireless networks window will show up.

    please help!

    Thanx!

    WiFi appears in Manage Known Networks, not in Show Available Networks

    Windows 10 won't show available networks while still being able to connect to known networks

    When clicking 'Show available networks' in Windows Settings > Status or Wi-Fi > Show Available networks, or clicking the wifi icon in the taskbar (bottom right), the list will pop up, but not show any networks (while my laptop has seen networks before, other
    devices do see the networks, and my laptop connects to my home network)

    - I am currently connected to a network I have been connected to before (wireless)

    - When I choose Windows Settings > Wi-Fi > Manage known networks it will show all the networks I have been connected to in the past.

    - When I restart my computer I can click the wifi icon on the Windows login page and it will show available networks.

    I have tried many different things, but to no avail. For now I can work, since my home and work network are recognized - but I won't be able to join a new network or to 'forget' a network, or manually connect to it.

    Some suggested to do something with Cortana, but that is not a process that runs on my computer.

    Secondary problem: the Windows search bar (when you click the Start button/windows key on the keyboard), does not work anymore. No searches for any application or file are currently possible. Highly annoying.

    Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Aline
