    Wifi on my newly updated Windows 10 Pro device now says - The network security key isn't...


    Just done a clean install of Windows 10 Pro and tried to connect the company Wi-Fi only for the error message "The network security key isn't correct, please try again." to appear. I am lost as how to correct the issue since I know the password is correct and the specs for the laptop are showing as the same for my other laptops that are connecting. What steps should I use to resolve this matter.

    :)

  2. Printer isn´t working after latest update.

    After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
    3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.
