    Wifi no longer visible to some but not all devices...


    Hi folks

    my pc - windows 10 - my home wifi network visible and connects fine
    my work pc - windows 10 - my home wifi network visible and connects fine
    girlfriends pc - windows 10 - my home wifi network is not visible from the wifi list so cannot connect to my home wifi network
    girlfriends phone - android - my home wifi network visible and connects fine
    my phone - android - my home wifi network is not visible from the wifi list so cannot connect to my home wifi network


    all of the above were working fine with visibility to my home network until about 2 days ago... just to be clear this is one single network...

    any ideas on the likely cause and solution would be appreciated...

    :)

    Can not find WIFI device after W10 Creator update

    Hi,

    This issue may have occurred due to corrupted drivers. Since you already performed some troubleshooting steps, and the drivers are not even listed in device manager, we suggest that you follow these steps to make the missing drivers visible again:

    • Right click the Windows icon and select Device Manager.
    • Click the View Tab at the top of the Device Manager window.
    • Put a checkmark on Show hidden devices.
    • Check if it made your drivers visible. Try to uninstall and reinstall your drivers afterwards.

    Let us know the results.

    Suggest Portable small WiFi Storage device with Maximum WiFi range

    Hi Guys,

    Would you please suggest Portable small WiFi Storage device with Maximum WiFi range ?

    The smallest I know is this


    Wifi no longer visible to some but not all devices... sandisk-wifi-pendrive-jpg.jpg


    Is there anything better than this which has maximum Wifi range? For example can it play movie from 30 meter distance ? From other room ?

    Thanks.

    Bluetooth MIDI device visibility problem in WIN10

    Hi Ota,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forum.



    • What is the make and model of the machine?
    • Are you aware of any changes that happened on the computer prior to which the device disappeared from the list of available devices?
    • Do you see any error message/code when the device disappears?


    Meanwhile, you may want to try the steps listed below and check if it works:

    • Right click the Sound icon on the taskbar and choose
      Sounds.
    • If your MIDI device isn’t listed there, right click on an empty space and select
      Show Disconnected Devices and Show Disabled Devices to see if the device is visible.


    We await your response,

    Regards,
