  1. Wireless connection is unavailable until a reboot after downloading Windows Updates


    My laptop has an annoying issue, which has always existed to varying degrees, but has recently become too frequent for me to just ignore.I primarily use wireless networking. However, my wireless occasionally disconnects and refuses to reconnect to my network until I restart. If I click on the network list in the system tray, I see my wireless network but when I click connect, it fails to connect to my wifi network. All other devices in the house are fine, and the laptop will always connect successfully after a reboot.The WLAN-Autoconfig event log gives the following entry while the wireless ad

    Wireless mouse "driver is unavailable" issues

    Hi,

    The error Driver is unavailable means that there is no available driver installed for your mouse that’s why it is not working. We suggest that you check the mouse driver from the device manager. Follow the steps below:

    • Open Device Manager.
    • Look for Mice and other pointing devices and click it to expand.
    • Check if there is a driver for the wireless mouse.

    If there is none, we suggest that you visit the manufacturer’s website of the mouse and download then install the latest mouse driver compatible to Windows 10.

    Get back to us if you need further assistance.

    Problem with wireless connection

    Hi,

    What is the make and model of your computer?

    I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned in the following link:

    Wired and wireless network problems

    Fix Wi-Fi connection issues in Windows

    Also applies to Windows 10.

    If the issue persist, I suggest you to un-install the current version of wireless card driver installed and then try to download and install wireless card drivers from your computer manufacturer website and check.

    Follow the steps on how to un-install the wireless card driver.


    • Press Windows Key + X.

    • Select Device Manager.

    • Expand Network adaptors.

    • Right click on wireless card driver and select
      Un-install.
    Windows will prompt you to confirm the device’s removal. Click
    OK to remove the driver.

    After the un-installation is complete, reboot your computer as soon as possible.

    Computer will load the network adaptor card. Now you may check with the issue.

    If the above steps doesn't help, I suggest you to login to other computer which has internet connectivity, visit the computer manufacturer website of the issue computer and then download the latest driver
    for the wireless card and save it to a external flash drive. Once you successfully save the drivers setup file, insert the flash drive on the issue computer and then try to install the drivers and check with the issue.

    Please reply us on the status of the issue to assist you further.

    Wireless connection is unavailable until a reboot after downloading Windows Updates

    Windows Update suddenly hangs?

    Windows Update is suddenly hanging for some reason... I went and downloaded and installed the first bunch of updates, restarted when asked, and now when I go back to windows update I just get the window with a white box forever. Reboot and it still does it. This happens to be on my main machine, running windows 7.

    I've also noticed when I reboot it says configuring windows update, step 3 of 3, 47%. Maybe it somehow skipped something and is screwed forever?
