    Windows 10 wifi not turning on Acer Aspire laptop

    In order to get the list of available wireless networks, you have to:

    1. Switch on Connect to suggested open hotspots (see the screenshot in question);
    2. Click on Wifi icon in the right corner. Now you have your networks back.

    After that the parameter from Step 1 can be turned off, networks will be listed normally after restarting Wifi.

    P.S. I feel rather stupid at the moment. I thought that open hotspots are passwordless hotspots and so are presumably not very safe. So of course I've turned that off during installation.
    Really hard to see any logic in this case.

    • Slide your finger downwards on the screen.
    • Press All settings.
    • Press Network & wireless.
    • Press WiFi. and then select Wi-Fi Sense.
    • Turn on/off "Connect to suggested open hotspots".
    • Uncheck "Show a notification banner when action is needed from me".

  4. Wifi compatibility is turned off

    I cannot turn on my wifi!!

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.

    We understand your concern and will certainly assist you to fix it.

    Please share these details.


    • What is the make and model of your computer?

    • What is the error message get while trying to enable wifi?

    • What all troubleshooting steps you have tried on the pc?

    • Do you have any VPN software installed on the pc?
    I would suggest you to install all pending updates and also update all device drivers including optional updates. Once this is done restart the pc and check the status.

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to run Network adaptor troubleshooter and check if it works:


      • Click on Start and enter troubleshooting in the search box.

      • Tap or click Troubleshooting.

      • Tap or click Network and Internet, tap or click
        Network Adapter, and follow the instructions on your screen.
    Method 2:

    Reinstall the Network driver in compatibility mode

    Though you have installed network driver numerous times and it didn’t helped. The issue could have occurred due to the drivers installed not being compatible with Windows
    10.

    In order to use the drivers which are designed or developed for a different Operating System, we need to install them in compatibility mode. Please follow the steps below to uninstall the network driver:

    • Press Windows Key + R.

    • Type devmgmt.msc
      and hit Enter.

    • Right click on the Network adaptor and select
      Uninstall.

      To install the drivers in compatibility mode, follow the steps below:
    • Right click on the setup file of the driver and select
      Properties.

    • Select Compatibility Tab.

    • Place a check mark next to
      Run this program in Compatibility mode
      and select the operating system accordingly from the drop down list

    • Click OK and run the setup.
    If you have a wifi router connected then reset the router to check if that helps.

    Hope this information helps. Feel free to get back to us for further queries. We will be happy to assist you.
