    Windows 10 freezes when attempting to connect to WiFi


    Hi all.

    Windows 10 slows down considerably / almost freezes when I try to connect to WiFi via my wifi-adapter.

    Everything was fine yesterday.
    I forced shut-down my PC late at night, by holding down the power button (which I do often), but when I woke up today, Windows 10 was very sluggish.

    I narrowed down the problem to the WiFi adapter: Realtek RTL8811AU Wireless LAN 802.11ac USB 2.0 Network Adapter

    I tried resetting my network a few times, joining multiple different wifi networks (no success), uninstalling and reinstalling the network adapter's driver, installing driver from the manufacture's website.. but nothing seems to work?

    The Wifi connection hangs up on: "No internet, secured"

    Thanks for any help in advance

    :)

    When will the wifi connectivity problems be solved?


    OK, so the Windows 10 engineers bollixed up the wifi connectivity part of the operating system. Everybody knows that by now. It seems they are making some progress in resolving it. Now, instead of seeing "Secured, No Internet" on your list of wifi connections, you see "Connected, Secured" EXCEPT no webpages will load. So you really aren't connected. It does seem to be a step in the right direction. Does anybody know when they plan on a full and complete repair of this screw up of epic proportions?

    Installing Windows 10 on Lumia 920

    I have a Lumia 920 mobile phone.
    Found a list on the net with compatible phones that support Win 10. Mine is on that list.
    Can't upgrade with the usual way.
    Found help on this official website of developers for Windows Phones. It's a step by step no brainer thing. Most people are doing it. Except me. I can't get past point 6. HOWTO: Install Windows 10 for Phones on Non-supported devices (and other hacks)

    "6.Connect to the same WiFi that your PC is on. Edit the settings for the WiFi connection to turn on the Proxy and set it to use the PC’s IP address and enter 8877 for the port "

    7. Open Internet Explorer on your phone and navigate to http://[pc.ip.add.ress]:8877 where [pc.ip.add.ress] is the IP address of the PC running the WPInsidersHacks app

    No idea what this means.I guess i need to access the router and modify some settings in there. Some guy on the forum told me " think he means to use the local IP address of the pc. Go to cmd and type ipconfig and look for ipv4 address. Should be somethin like 192/......"

    I did connect my phone as always via wi-fi to my router. But i have no ideea how to use that proxy or how to make my phone have the same Ip as computer. I did start WPInsiderHacks app on pc. This is what it looks like

    Theres also this official Windows 10 Preview On Nokia Lumia 920 - Windows Central Forums
    It says this :
    1. Download the Windows Insider app.
    Press ... > about > make sure Sys free space is 300MB or more.
    If there isn't enough space, make full reset with Windows Phone Recovery Tool.

    Code:
    upwp10.chinacloudapp.cn:7777

    Download and install certificate.
    3. Edit WiFi connection, enable Proxy

    Code:
    upwp10.chinacloudapp.cn
    7777

    4. Open Insider app, click get builds
    5. You will get Enroll page, do not Enroll yet!
    6. Switch to WIFI settings, turn off proxy.
    7. Switch to Windows Insider app and now you can enroll for Windows 10 Technical Preview.
    Choose Fast option.
    8. Check Settings > Phone update.
    If it can't find updates, you may need to reboot your phone and enroll again (without a proxy now).


    Same thing with the proxy. Anyways the more detailed steps on the DEV forum are much better i think .Cuz they put out more info on how to do it.

    Can anybody help me with step 6 ?

    Windows 10 freezes when attempting to connect to WiFi

    screen freezing and cannot connect to wifi shortly after connecting to windows 10

    I submitted a question regarding my computer freezing and will not allow wifi connection.

    I received a reply from Microsoft but after attempting option 1, but it froze again and will not connect at all.

    Previoously it would do so by attaching an Etheral line from modem to laptop direct.

    No sound either since doing what was suggested.

    I cannot do more as nothing is working
