Windows 10: WiFi Cuts Out

Since the recent Windows 10 upgrades, my WiFi will mysteriously cut out.


It takes several tries on Wi-Fi settings to reconnect.


Sometimes, I have to reboot my device to get a connection back.


Has anyone else had this occur to them and, if so, are they aware of a fix?


Many thanks and stay safe!

:)

 

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.
