Windows 10: Windows 10 Laptop: Wifi refusing to enable

Hello, recently i’ve encountered a random issue with my Dell Inspiron 5555 Windows 10 laptop.

to put it simply: the wifi refuses to enable.


whenever I attempt to enable it, it shows that there are no networks available, and then turns itself off and goes into airplane mode.


I’m not sure if I did anything specific to cause such problem, but I haven’t seen any instances of it before.


I’ve already tried updating reinstalling the Network Adaptors and such, yet I see no progress.


If anybody at least knows anything similar to this and how to fix it, that would help me much.

Thank you.

:)

 

Laptop refusing to connect to WiFi

Original Title: Windows 10 WiFi Issue

Here's the deal: I just installed Windows 10 on my laptop and it is refusing to connect to WiFi. I troubleshoot, and it tells me that there might be an issue with the adapter. I restarted both my computer and the router but still was unable to connect. The
other devices using this WiFi all work perfectly fine. I never had this problem with Windows 8.1

 

Localhost (Raspberry Pi) refuses to connect to one out of two PCs on LAN (WiFi)

I am on my second attempt to set up a LAMP webserver (https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects/lamp-web-server-with-wordpress/3) on my LAN. The first attempt was successful until I suddenly noticed that the server refused connection to my laptop (Windows 10) - it had previously connected successfully. Eventually in desperation wiped Pi and started again, testing carefully step by step. So, having connected Pi to WiFi (ping from laptop OK), the first step is install Apache2. All well, and Apache2 Debian Default page appears on Pi's browser in response to http://192.168.1.22 (Pi's IP address). As expected.

At this stage my laptop (call it laptop1) is refused connection at that IP address. But checking on a second PC (laptop2 running XP), we connect to the Apache2 Debian Default page as expected. Laptop1, laptop2 and Pi are of course all on the same WiFi.

I have made NO other changes to Pi or to either laptop.

I conclude: The Apache installation is fine. The difficulty lies with laptop1.

Can somebody please suggest how I can track this down on laptop1? Where should I start looking? Is it a setting I have inadvertently changed? Could a dll have got corrupted?

Added later: Apache's access log shows two error codes associated with laptop1. these are 404 (not found) and 408 (Time out- sorry, previously misread 407 Proxy identification required). So why laptop1 not found?

Thanks, John

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
