Windows 10: WiFi problem

I am running build 11102, but it happened in earlier builds too.

When I boot or reboot my laptop, the wireless adapter comes up in one of three ways, at random:

- Normal. This is of course no problem.
- With a driver problem: I have to reinstall the driver to get it working.
- As a generic ethernet adapter. In this case, there seems nothing to be done except rebooting, in hope that one of the other two events happen. Windows does not know what kind of adapter it is, so it cannot find a driver. Even when I try to install a driver which I know to be good, it gets refused.

Note that this even happens when the laptop wakes from hibernation.

Anyone any ideas?

TIA,

Bart

No more WIFI. What?

My Samsung Focus Flash, a Windows Phone no longer recognizes WIFI networks . WIFI turned on but the screen just keeps saying "Searching". Other devices I have recognizes my WIFI network.



Told to do a hard reset. What happens if I do device reset? What do I lose? Do I have to buy previously purchased apps? What about contacts?

 

Windows 10 WiFi not working after sleep mode

I've seen some older posts with this issue, but none every really say what the fix is. Seems this typically gets fixed by messing around in the systems and some unknown action fixes the issue. I've not been so lucky. So, problem is; I have a new Dell
Inspiron 13 7000 series, i5 with Windows 10. My Wifi connects and works fine. If the computer goes to sleep, or the screen saver comes on, when I wake it back up the Wifi says it's "connected", but it does not work. If I hover over the WiFi icon in the lower
right it says "no internet connection". I can disconnect and reconnect to Wifi, but it still will not work. If I totally restart the computer, WiFi automatically connects and it's all good until next time it sleeps or the screen saver comes on and I wake
the system back up. I've unchecked the box in Device Manager power settings that allows/prevents the WiFi to be turned off in power saving mode. Anyone know how to fix this?
