    Resolved [RESOLVED] wireless wifi problems one device please read/ help thanks !

    I have an unusual problem ( as always).. my laptop with window 10 fails to connect to my router it will by ethernet wire ,, but wireless It sees my network ( I have two),, but states failed to connect . .my other devices re: wireless such as smart phones/ Ipads and my other windows 10 PC/ XP pro all have no problem! .. I even swapped out my older DLINK 850 router for New one..

    so what to do??? well after maybe 5 days of problem shooting and installing I finally hit the dirt and did a RESET windows 10 on the laptop and after three hours ''Voila'' wireless is now seen., and connected ! so after installing my essential priory programs ., it ran fine for maybe two weeks.. then Again same scenario!! no connection! only this time- I only spent one day troubleshooting and then hit the Reset again and voila Network is back and seen/ connected

    So my question is: what's going on here?? .. i have malwarebytes installed // superspyware can also run , plus I ran the FIXME stick program ( and that only found 4 malware) ... There is something going on here . .so for my..,, ( just did this reset last night) MY next set of Tests I am not going to install any on my programs except for exchange pop3 email and HP printer with wireless ,, and trusty ol' Google Chrome .. I'll skip everything else for now and see if this last reset does the trick... i can't believe I have this problem on my PC HP laptop ( see signature) .. yet my other two windows PC"s I have basically the same programs installed and is running fine .... They always see and talk to network .

    Ideas? besides buying a new laptop .

    One possibility is that Windows 10 is helpfully "updating" your wireless networking drivers for you to the latest non-working version.

    Not if you have Windows 10 and you have the drivers set to auto-update. Microsoft does not test their updates.

    The issue is undoubtedly caused by Microsoft updates to your Wi-Fi hardware drivers. As long as those are happening, you will have the issue.

    If your Wi-Fi works after a fresh install of Windows, and then later it doesn't work, then that means something must have changed, right?

    What could have changed that would affect your Wi-Fi connection?

    If your printer driver changed, or your video driver changed, would that affect your Wi-Fi access? I don't think so.

    So what could it possibly be? If it isn't the Wi-Fi driver, what would it be?

    There is no magic button that you can click on that will fix this. You need to prevent whatever change is occurring that affects your Wi-Fi connection. It really is that simple.

    Did you take note of the Wifi driver version right after your "reset" install? You should look if the version changes, and then see if you can rollback the drivers.

    A "Reset" might solve the problem, but that doesn't help to narrow down what is actually happening.
