Windows 10: Wireless Capability and Other Internet Problems

I'd like to know why in the world the Wireless Capability turned off for no absolute reason. I've had a lot of problems with only HP Microsoft Windows 10 and 8 computers just disconnecting from the internet randomly, deleting all my connections randomly and now the WORST of them all, Wireless Capability turned off for no reason.


I've had this HP Pavilion Laptop for almost 4 years now. Never have I ever had a problem like this that couldn't be fixed. I looked up on my phone and it said I had to press F12, which was Airplane Mode. Since none of the stuff worked, I had to Factory Reset my laptop, but thank goodness, I was getting close to 60% finish in resetting before the computer died from lack of charge and thank goodness, it undid the changes and fixed everything and none of my data was lost. What I wanna understand is why in the world would the computer turn that darn feature off for no reason??

Wireless capability won't turn on

Thanks to you all for your suggestions but none of them solved my problem. To make matters worse I learned at Toshiba's website that my Satellite A665 is not listed as Windows 10 ready device.

Fortunately I also found an answer to my problem, and that was to turn on the wireless capability using the software switch: TBSWireless.exe located in the Program Files/Toshiba/TBS directory.

Now I plan to go back to my Windows Home Premium.

 

wireless capability

I have an HP elitebook and my troubleshooter is telling me that my wireless capability is turned off. It suggests to push the wireless button on my computer, which I cannot locate or to use the function keys. I have no idea what the function keys are
much less where to find and/or use them.
