Windows 10: Win 10 Laptop Looses Wi-Fi on restart / reboot

Windows 10 laptop will not accept or even recognize a Wi-Fi wireless network 90% of its startups. The laptop is as follows:



HP Pavilion 17 Notebook PC

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4210U CPU @ 1.70GH 2.40 GHz

System Type: 64-bit OS, x64-based processor

RAM: 12.0 GB



Windows 10 Home; Version 1809



First steps:

1. 
   Network Adapters:
   
   1. 
      Bluetooth Device (Personal Area Network) #2
      
      
   2. 
      Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller
      
      
   3. 
      WAN Miniport (IKEv2)
      
      
   4. 
      WAN Miniport (IP)
      
      
   5. 
      WAN Miniport (IPv6)
      
      
   6. 
      WAN Miniport (L2TP)
      
      
   7. 
      WAN Miniport (Network Monitor)
      
      
   8. 
      WAN Miniport (PPPOE)
      
      
   9. 
      WAN Miniport (PPTP)
      
      
   10. 
       WAN Miniport (SSTP)
       
       
       
       This issue has been going on for several months and I am out of ideas.
       
       
       
2. 
   I have uninstalled all 10 network adapters and tried both rebooting or shutdown the PC for several minutes.
   
   
3. 
   Each network adapter has the current drivers.
   
   
4. 
   I ran the (netsh wlan show wlanreport) but the Profile Output does not list any Wi-Fi profiles stored on the PC.
   
   
   
   If I continue the above listed steps between 1 – 2 hours the Wi-Fi will finally show up. Even though it is configured to connect automatically I still have to manually connect it when it finally shows up.
   
   
   
   Second steps:
   
   
   

1. 
   I called Microsoft and attempted several issues. We ended up using the following 5 Registry commands, which corrected the recognition of the Wi-Fi for several restarts.
   
   1. 
      Netsh Winsock reset
      
      
   2. 
      Netsh int ip reset
      
      
   3. 
      Ipconfig /release
      
      
   4. 
      Ipconfig /Renew
      
      
   5. 
      Ipconfig /flushdns
      
      
      
2. 
   However, after a couple of days the lack of Wi-Fi failed again. I was able to run the 5 registry commands (listed above) and correct the issue several times HOWEVER, everything changed today.
   
   
3. 
   TODAY – I ran the registry sittings, I deleted all 10 Network Adapters, I restarted or rebooted the laptop each time. The bottom line is it took me over 2 hours to finally get the laptop to recognize the Wi-Fi.
   
   
   
   ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. MICROSOFT FIND AND FIX THIS/ THESE ISSUES FOR ALL………..
   
   
   
   I am totally out of ideas and yes I run anti-virus and Malware protection. Any new ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Wi-Fi errors (Windows 10)

I'm currently troubleshooting a HP laptop (HP G62-a10SQ to be more specific). The problem is that it doesn't want to connect to any Wi-Fi network. It leaves me with the generic error "Can't connect to this network." I've tried these steps so far

• Restarting the computer
  
• Flushing DNS
  
• Releasing and renewing the ipconfig
  
• Uninstalling the driver
  
• Reinstalling the driver
  
• Reseating the Wi-FI module
  
• Checking Windows Update for any drivers
  
• Updating the driver in Device Manager
  
• Temporarily removing my Wi-Fi encryption
  
• Trying to connect to a different Wi-Fi network outside of my network
  
• Probably more troubleshooting steps I can't remember atm (I will edit the post if I remember anything)
  

 

Trouble Changing Wi-Fi Password


I've been following the following steps to change my Wi-Fi password for some time:

1. Launch Control Panel.
2. Click "Network and Internet."
3. Click "Network and Sharing Center."
4. Click "Wi-Fi...."
5. Click "Wireless Properties."
6. Click the Security tab.
7. Check "Show characters."
8. Enter the password in "Network security key."

Those steps have been working just fine, but today I discovered a new wrinkle. If I change the password inside the router first, "Wi-Fi..." doesn't appear in step 4. This isn't much of a problem at home, because I can just change the password in Control Panel before I change it inside the router, but it would be a problem at a public hotspot, or something of that nature. I also tested Brink's instructions in "How to Connect To a Wireless Network in Windows 10," but they don't work for me either. How can I fix this?

 

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!
