  1. Wont give me the option to select a wifi network


    So I guess my computer updated overnight and now I cant figure out how to connect it to the internet. Normally I just click the little world symbol in the bottom right corner, but whenever I click it all it shows is bluetooth, airplane mode, battery saver, focus assist, and accessibility. I tried going to the network and internet options in the settings but it doesnt give me an option to pick a wifi to connect to there either. Can someone please tell me how I can pick a wifi to please

    :)

  2. select preferred wifi network on Windows Phone 7?

    Hello Chariteach,

    Currently, there is no way to "set" which WIFI should connect first.

    WIFI attempts to connect in alphabetical order of the WIFI list.

    One way I have been able to bypass a WIFI connection in my list-in your case,"network a"

    Use the following steps to prevent a WIFI profile from connecting in WIFI network settings:

    * tap/hold and edit the login for "network a", add a 1 to your username. i.e. chris1

    * "network a" will no longer connect since login username is incorrect.

    * The WIFI connection search will skip to your next option, "network b"

    * This should now only connect to "network b"

    In the future, when you want to use "network a" then tap/hold and correct the login.

    *note- When the option to delete the WIFI connection is used, i.e. "network a", would be temporary and reappears upon WP7 searching for WIFI.

    Windows won't forget WiFi network

    I have 3 old Wifi networks that I want to get rid of in the list of networks. All devices show them in the WiFi list and when i click Forget, they come right back. When I go to Manage networks in Settings, they're not there, but still show in the list on every device. How can I get rid of them?

    Windows Version 10.0.19042 Build 19042
    The first image is the list of networks. I want to remove the Blackwellhome ones. The second is obviously the Manage Networks in Settings.

    wifi network recconnects automatically to another wifi network.............

    Hi,

    Do not worry we will help you with this issue.

    I suggest you to uncheck the option to automatically connect to the network (networkprofile~), try to remove the connection by choosing forget connection and check if it helps.

    Try the troubleshooting steps below and check if it helps.

    Step 1: Run Network Adapter troubleshooter

    Network Adapter troubleshooter find and fix the problems with wireless and other Network Adapter.

    • Click on Start; in the start search type
      Troubleshooter and hit Enter.
    • In the left pane, click onView all.
    • Click on Network Adapter Troubleshooter.
    • Select Advance and click on
      Run as Administrator.
    • Click Next and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the troubleshooting process.

    Step 2: If you are able to find the drivers in Device Manager, check for the device status.

    Follow:

    • Press Windows + X keys from the keyboard, click on
      Device Manager.
    • Expand Network Adapter, right click on the driver.
    • Click on Properties and check the
      device status
      .

    Step 3: I suggest you to update the network adapter driver from device manager.

    Follow the below steps:

    • Press Windows key + x key on your keyboard.
    • Select Device manager.
    • Expand Network adapters. Right-click on the device and click
      Update Driver Software.
    • Restart the computer and check if the issue persists.

    Refer to the article by Andre Da Costa about:
    How to: Install and Update drivers in Windows 10 and check if it helps.

    Hope it helps. Get back to us with an updated status of accessing the Wi-Fi network for further assistance.

    Thank you.
