    Windows fails to initilize wifi adapter on wake-up


    Windows connects properly to wifi on bootup, but if I go into sleep mode, on wake-up the wifi does not reconnect automatically to wifi. To reconnect, I have to manually disable the adapter, then enable it. I'm running version 1803 64 bit. Can anyone explain/help? Thanks.

    :)

  2. Wake up from sleep with Microsoft AC Adapter

    Hi Andy,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

    I understand your concern to restart the laptop from sleep mode when connected to AC power adapter.

    Please be informed us if you are facing any problem with while waking the computer from sleep mode.

    I suggest you to update the drivers for AC power adapter from
    Device Manager and check if it helps.

    Steps :

    • Press Windows key + X key when you are at desktop.
    • Select Device Manager.
    • Expand AC Power Adapter.
    • Right on the W and click on Update driver software.

    If the drivers are updated, you will not have the option to Update Driver Software.

    Step 2: If that does not fix the issue, please reinstall the display adapter drivers.


    • Right click on the Start button from the desktop and select
      Device Manager.

    • Locate and expand Display adapter.

    • Right-click on the Display adapter
      that is listed and click “Uninstall”.


    Restart the computer and download, install the latest drivers from the NVIDIA website.

    Hope it helps. Reply to the post with an updated status of the issue to assist you further.

    Update made wifi adapter disapear


    If the wifi adapter appears in Device manager without any warning triangle but there is no wifi section in Settings, Networks then reinstall the wifi adapter.

    If the wifi adapter appears in Device manager without any warning triangle and there is a wifi section in Settings, Networks then use Settings, Update, Troubleshoot. I'd suggest this sequence:-
    Hardware & devices
    Network adapter
    Internet connections

    Best of luck,
    Denis
     
  4. Windows fails to initilize wifi adapter on wake-up

    WiFi adapter disables itself

    Sorry, but that does not solve the problem. Here's the condition, any suggestions?

    Asus and HP laptops upgraded to Win 10 August 2015, both using anniversary edition version 1607, 64 bit, installed on 8-24-16. All of the fixes suggest have been tried and do not work. A/V is Norton Security.

    • WiFi adapter disables itself and will not allow it to be re-enabled. Troubleshoot will not fix and restart is required.
      But Restart hangs and takes 30+ min. (90 min. 1-8) to complete or a forced shutdown by physically turning off the PC is needed to resolve.
      Can cause Edge to fail to find web pages after restart.
      • Asus last occurred: 12-25-16, 12-14, numerous dates since August 2015.
        Happened occasionally while on Win 8.1
      • HP last occurred: 1-8, 1-6, 1-1, 12-27-16, 12-14, numerous dates since August 2015. Never happened while on Win 7.
