    WIFI intermittent on a Lenovo T420 upgrade Windows 8.1 to Windows 10.


    After the upgrade I performed a "Reset this PC" with "Keep my files". Periodically the wifi will die. No networks will appear in the list in the pane which appears when one clicks the icon at the bottom right.The fastest way to fix it is to click the left-most button twice, which seems to disable/re-enable and automatically reconnect to the network. I have checked the router. The problem is not manifesting on another Lenovo laptop upgraded the same way. I am using the latest available network driver.So far I haven't performed a clean install due to the time it will take. Let me guess a clean install will solve?

    Certain functions in my browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Opera) are disabled in Windows 10.

    Hi there,

    I just upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1. Now when I go to NFL.com/Fantasy Football and try to edit my teams the drag and drop functionality plus the slide out "Feedback" tabs don't work. They worked fine in Windows 8.1 --- and --- They work fine in
    Microsoft Edge now. Please help.

    I am on a Lenovo T420 with Windows 10 Intel 2.5ghz dual core cpu 4mb ram.

    Thanks for you help.

    Eric

    Lenovo T420s Windows 10 Driver Question

    I want to upgrade to windows 10 and do a clean install but all of the drivers that Lenovo provides on their website for the T420s aren't meant for windows 10 yet. Has anyone tried doing it anyway and found any other alternatives???

    WIFI intermittent on a Lenovo T420 upgrade Windows 8.1 to Windows 10.

    Maybe Windows Update replaced the WiFi driver and the new one is not 100% compatible with your model. Try installing the driver from Lenovo's site. To keep Windows Update from replacing it again, see this post of how to hide the relevant updates so they are excluded.
