    Windows 10 won't automatically connect to WiFi when waking from sleep


    Having an issue on my wife's hp laptop. Upgraded it to windows 10 and ever since it won't ever connect to WiFi when waking until I click on the icon in the , select my network, and hit connect. Even has the connect automatically box checked and it stays checked. Couldn't find anything in the settings that was causing the problem. I have another laptop, a 2009 dell inspiron, and its also running 10 and doesn't have the issue. It immediately connects to any saved WiFi network upon waking it up or powering it on. Any ideas?

    :)

    Windows 10 wifi connects only after sleep mode awakening

    But how can I not use it? It won't connect to any network from the start. I need to start Windows, then to sleep it and then to wake it to enable wifi connection instead of just first step - to start Windows.

    Waking Windows 10 Pro from Sleep

    When I wake Windows 10 from sleep, the Wifi network connection initially appears to be operational. After a couple of seconds, the Wifi symbol in the system tray indicates an error. When I put my mouse over it, the error message says "Unidentified Network.
    No Internet Access." So apparently WIndows 10 does not re-establish the Wifi network connection when it is awakened from the "Sleep" state. Will there be a fix for this? It worked fine in Windows 8.1. Thanks!

    Windows 10 won't automatically connect to WiFi when waking from sleep

    I have a similar issue with my Lenovo / IBM Thinkpads. It turns out that every new build installation turns on an option that I have to manually uncheck; otherwise I get the behavior you observe.

    It's under the wireless adapter properties, and if I recall (I'm on a desktop right now) it's the Power tab, and the check box for something like "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". Uncheck the box.
