Windows 10: Windows 10 WiFi Disconnects when I shut down computer have to turn back on all the time

I just installed windows 10 on this computer... every time i restart or shut down and turn on the laptop this appears and i have to turn wifi on again. Microsoft looked at it and reset the network settings. BUT it still happens. I have 1 other laptop with windows 11 and 2 desktops with windows 11 and this does not happen with those. This laptop that i am having trouble with cannot run Windows 11.

• If you have an identical laptop try comparing the wifi and security settings of the one that does not disconnect with the one that does. If you find any differences change the settings of the one that does not work to the one that does.

• If you do not have an identical laptop see this post and the three replies for possible solutions: Wifi disconnects every 5 minutes.

@Samuria : If you have any suggestions please reply.

 

Computer disconnecting from WiFi when restarted or shut down

Not exactly sure why it does that, but I've been trying to update my Windows 10 with the "Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1709 for x64-based Systems (KB4056892) but it says I get the error 0x80070bc2. I don't think this is the problem however, as
my computer has been disconnecting from the WiFi every time I reset or shut it down. I'd like to preemptively say that I don't think it's my WiFi, as it works perfectly fine before I shut down or restart as well as it works perfectly fine everywhere for my
phone and roommates computer.

Help would be appreciated.

 

WiFi not automatically disconnecting when out of range

Gunnart,

I had a similar refusal to disconnect from a WiFi profile and I solved it.
- In my particular case, the unwanted network was still in range so I cannot say for certain that my symptoms were exactly the same as yours but they were certainly consistent with yours.
- The solution is not a destructive one so I do suggest you try it.

1 I turned WiFi off then repeated the fairly standard step of removing existing WiFi profiles - Settings, Networks, WiFi, Manage known networks, <select each one in turn>, Forget. Arguably, I could have just done this for the problem network but I was probably not thinking straight at the time.

2 I then opened RegEdit, went to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles
and deleted every subkey that referred to a WiFi network profile. Again, arguably, I could just have deleted all those that referred to the problem network.

3 I then turned WiFi back on and started from scratch detecting then connecting to the networks I wanted to use. There has been no repetition of the problem.

Some further commentary
A I had changed my internet connection device but had re-used the same network name on the new one.
B There were no strange entries in the list in Settings [step 1 above] & I quite wrongly thought that forgetting them represented a complete clearout.
C When I looked the Registry key [my step 2 above], I found that there were two subkeys with the relevant network name in the Description line.
- In one case, the same network name was repeated in the ProfileName line
- But the other entry contained a Profilename entry that had the expected network name with a suffix [2] after it.
- So my re-use of the name had been identified by Windows after all [I had just been trying to reduce the number of changes I had to work through when I swapped devices and had not thought there could be side-effects].


Best of luck,
Denis
