Windows 10: Windows 10 Laptop Won't Connect to Wi-Fi

I'm having issues with connecting to Wi-Fi AGAIN. I have an HP Notebook 15 laptop and the day before yesterday, my laptop was forced to update. It was fine yesterday but today, when I turned on my laptop and tried to log in and got a blue screen. It said something about IQR or something and when it restarted, it said that no Wi-Fi networks could be found.


I've already uninstalled and reinstalled my network adapter but that didn't work. I tried entering those five lines of code in the command prompt like I did last time. It didn't work. I did a network reset, went to services and made sure WLAN Config had started. I did a troubleshoot, restarted my DNS Client and NONE of that worked.


Just like last time, my laptop, when I go through the Control Panel, doesn't detect that I can use Wi-Fi. My Ethernet adapter is listed but my Wi-Fi adapter isn't.


And before you ask, YES, my Wi-Fi network is working for ALL other devices except for my laptop. NO, I do not have a virus, nor have I recently installed anything.


Please respond as quickly as you can. I have things that need to get done ASAP.

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!

 

Different Network Connection From the same Wi-Fi

Hi,

Thank you for providing the details.

As mentioned above in your post, the Desktop is connected to the Ethernet
and Laptop is Connected to the Wi-Fi. It is not possible to connect to the same Wi-Fi networks. If both Desktop and Laptop are on Wi-Fi devices then you could try connecting it to the same Wi-Fi network.

• Did you try the below step provided and what was the result?

I would suggest you to create a new HomeGroup and check if it helps.
Refer: HomeGroup
from start to finish

(Applies to Windows 10 as well)

Keep us posted to help you better.
