Windows 10: Will not connect to Wi-Fi

Can anyone please help me?


About 1 week ago my HP Pavillion x360 suddenly disconnected from the Wi-fi. The Wi-fi bars were empty with a little red X. I ended up restarting the computer and it reconnected. The next day it did this again and I deleted the Wi-fi driver (Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165) and reinstalled it from the Intel website. This fix lasted several hours. I then updated Windows and this fixed the problem for several hours, but the problems persisted. My laptop is not connecting to any Wi-fi network, not just at home, and my other devices connect to Wi-fi just fine.


I finally caved and asked HP Smart Friend to help me. They updated Windows, BIOS, and reinstalled the Wi-Fi driver. The fix lasted a day, but now the problem still persists. HP suggested that the problem is related to Windows 10.


I have run the trouble shooter on my computer and on Google Chrome, but sometimes it fixes the problem and sometimes it doesn't. I'm still able to connect to the internet with an Ethernet cord but I don't have a way to do that at school.


Does anyone have any other fixes?

Thanks!

Windows 10 stop automatically connecting to random new wi-fi networks


Hi,

I have searched a lot, but all the tutorials I found only explained how to not connect automatically to a known wi-fi network or how to disable wi-fi sense... but this is not what I am looking for...

PROBLEM:

• When my laptop (Windows 10 Pro X64) is not connected to a network and the wireless adapter is on, it will automatically connect to any random new unsecured wi-fi network... The only way I have now to avoid this is to disable my wi-fi adapter.

UNUSEFUL TUTORIALS I FOUND ON THE INTERNET:

• How to manually uncheck the option for a particular wi-fi network not to connect automatically in Network Properties. This is not what I am looking for. This would suggest that everytime I power my computer. I would have to manually go through all the available wi-fi networks and unclick them all...
• How to disable Wi-Fi Sense. This is not useful, because I don't even have a Wi-Fi sense option in my computer where the tutorials say it should be.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR:

• I am looking for an option to tell my computer to stop connecting randomly to unknown wi-fi networks like an hyperactive, reckless idiot.

PERSONAL COMMENT:

• Honestly, why would any respectable company think that it could be somewhat wise or secure to do this... Anyone's computer could just randomly connect to any hacker's wi-fi network without the user even knowing it...

Any solutions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

 

Wi-Fi issue: Limited connectivity

Hi Scot,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forum.



I suggest you to run the in-built troubleshooter for Internet connections.

• Open 'Settings' and click on 'Update and security'.
  
• On the left pane, select 'Troubleshoot' and run the troubleshooter for 'Internet Connections'.
  

You may also try the troubleshooting steps listed in the articles listed below and check if it works:

• Fix network connection issues in Windows
  
• Fix Wi-Fi problems in Windows 10
  
  
  

Hope it helps.

 

No wi-fi connection


I found the restore points and went back to last month, when the Wi-Fi was still working. I reconnected the router. The control panel says the connection is secure and connected when I tried to get online via wireless rather than DSL, but the icon on the bottom is still the DSL one. Do I have to disconnect the DSL cable in order to use the Wi-Fi or does it matter? The control panel lists both internet connections.
