Windows 10: WiFi network not found/available on my laptop

List availible wifi networks with powershell

I ran the command



I went away and made a pot of coffee then came back to the computer, checked that two minutes had passed and ran the command again



and I then clicked as soon as I could on the Taskbar, Network icon to bring up the list



and I also ran the NirSoft WiFiInfo tool I mentioned earlier to show relative signal strengths.




Are you getting a lot of fading in & out of WiFi signal strength by any chance? Are you on 2.4GHz or 5GHz? Is fading what's leading to the symptoms you see?
You can monitor fading by watching the Taskbar, Network icon or by using NirSoft WiFiInfo tool, which I find easier because [as in my illustration] it can be sorted by signal strength so you can see networks flicking up & down the list.

Hi Sandra,

To address the connection issue that you are experiencing on your laptop, we need the following information:

• Have you made any changes to the laptop prior to the issue?
• What are the troubleshooting steps that you have tried to resolve the issue?

In the meantime, run the Network troubleshooter. The Network troubleshooter can help diagnose and fix common connection problems. Using this troubleshooter, then running some networking commands afterwards if needed, can help get you connected.

To run the Network troubleshooter, follow the steps below:

1. In the search box on the taskbar, type Network troubleshooter, and then select
Identify and repair network problems from the list of results.

2. Follow the steps in the troubleshooter and see if that fixes the problem.

Let us know the results.
