Windows 10: Wifi networks not being listed

I'm facing a bug where the available wifi networks aren't listing. The only way I can connect to a known wifi network is by going to my list of known networks, enabling "automatically connect when in range", and toggling my wifi on and off. Unfortunately I might be switching to a new ISP with a new network, and I have no way of connecting to a new unknown wifi network. I have confirmed using multiple devices that there are in fact multiple networks available, it's just my device being buggy. I've gotten this issue from a windows update. It's been 3 months and no recent update has fixed this bu

List availible wifi networks with powershell

I always use elevated cmd and I tested it again it is the same on other computer. Point is if you are not connected to wifi you get all listed if you are connected to one wifi you get only tht one. But you must not click icon on taskbar for wifis for a minute. All networks are availible all the time Also I have no restrictions. C:\>netsh wlan show filters Allow list on the system (group policy) --------------------------------------- <None> Allow list on the system (user) ------------------------------- <None> Block list on the system (group policy) --------------------------------------- <None> Block list on the system (user) ------------------------------- <None> - - - Updated - - -

when I use this line tha yes I get all wifis

 

List availible wifi networks with powershell

So you are seeing all networks when using the command. Is it possible that the other networks have become unavailable during that 30 seconds? Have you checked the list shown in the Taskbar popup at the same time as using the command? You can check both at the same time using this combined command Code:

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.
