  1. Windows 10 not connecting to public wifi


    Why has no effort been made to rectify the problem with windows 10 connecting to public WiFi, I purchased a tablet just so i could use whilst away at work and the only connection i have available is the company public WiFi which my tablet will not connect to. I have tried so many different options which are on this forum and have spent hours trying and nothing works. As a lot of people have mentioned android, windows 7, Apple products can still connect so why does the new system refuse to let a lot of people not connect, surely a simple update could be sent out to allow people to use the computers they have spent there hard earned money on which microsoft are making money from.

    :)

  3. Cannot Connect to Public WiFi

    I have a brand new Asus 2in1 running on Windows 10. When I first got it, I was able to access public WIFI at our public library and a few of the University campuses where I work.

    Shortly after we installed Microsoft 2013 products. Since then I am unable to access public WiFI. I don't know if this is related or a coincidence.

    I was able to access all of the 3 WIFIs before. They still show up as connected, but when I open up MicoSoft Edge and try to search or access a website, the response is "You're not connected". Troubleshooting doesn't resolve the issue. The message is , the
    "WiFi doesn't have a valid IP Configuration". These WiFi's are trusted, but I can't seem to get around this issue.

    When I go to the list of available WIFI connections the are labeled "Can't Share".

    I am able to connect to my home wireless (usually) without a problem.

    Thanks for your help.,
