    WiFi no longer works in Win10

    Dalchina:

    Laptop is HP dv6-6c14nr came with Win7, upgraded to Win10 early on, worked fine until now -- despite lack of HP win10 drivers.

    Tried toggling Airplane mode in Action Center, but while WiFi would toggle to ON, it would immediately then toggle back to Off. Could not get it to stay on.

    Tried troubleshooting again, it failed again -- said wireless capability is turned off -- plug in ethernet cable. Also said Radio is off (SW switch). Said it fixed it, but it did not.

    So, I plugged in a network cable to compose and send this reply -- but noticed suddenly that the f12 LED was now white, not red!

    So, disconnected the network cable, retried WiFi -- and it now works! I then tried toggling WiFi with f12 and now, it does toggle off and on.

    So, it looks like running the diags again actually fixed it.

    Thanks much for the suggestions -- I really appreciate them.

    Remote Desktop connection working with WiFi but not working with Ethernet cable?

    My question is about remote desktop connection.

    Earlier I was using remote desktop between two windows 7 machines via WiFi.

    With passing of time I connect with via ethernet cable to WiFi router for both the machines.

    Then I upgraded the server pc to windows 10.

    And the reciver pc doesn't. After this the WiFi connection was working well, even the ethernet between windows 10 pc and WiFi router was working well.

    But the connection between WiFi router and windows 7pc wasn't via ethernet.

    Now I want to connect windows 7pc with WiFi router with Ethernet cable.

    Please help...

    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
