  1. WiFi selection stuck!


    My WiFi pop up Network selection menu has a number of 'connect automatically' boxes selected that when I unselect them show selected again after menu is closed and reopened. Why do they show reselected again after I unchecked boxes? Seems to remember selections made long ago, but won't remember one's made currently!

    :)

    Hi Sean,

    The authentication failed error that you encounter when connecting to a local WiFi can be related to a change on the device firmware caused by the recent update. As an initial step to fix your concern, we suggest that you reset the connection by following
    these steps:

    • Click the Start menu

    • Click on WiFi and select Manage known networks.
