    wifi settings difficulties


    Symptoms:
    1)Under one user account, wifi settings are not preserved. If I run
    ms-settings:network
    and select "Manage wifi settings", there is no choice for "Manage known networks".
    2)Under a second user account, I cannot see wifi choices at all. If I run
    ms-settings:network
    I get:
    ms-settings:network
    package could not be registered

    Any help is appreciated.

    :)

    Difficulty connecting wifi

    Have you gone Settings, Network & Internet and while connecting did you check Connect Automatically?

    Difficulty connecting wifi

    My PC will not connect automatically to my wifi, although other devices will. Troubleshooting does not help but tells me wifi does not have a valid IP configuration. After a 5 - 10 minute wait wifi usually connects without me doing anything else. This
    is a recent problem and I have not changed PC, ISP, or modem.

    You have to check the check box Connect automatically and then it will remember the password, You can uncheck it if you want anytime after you connect and it will still remember the password.

    This doesn't work. There's something wrong with my OS, as is evident from the other symptoms. I can't "forget" a network (or remember it).

    I know exactly what you mean. Yes, I see that but when I log out (or reboot or hibernate) it does *not* connect automatically. Something having to do with wifi settings is broken. Here is what the *entire* bottom of my wi fi settings looks like:
