Why does WIN-10 not connect with my home WIfi on start-up
If I restart in WIN-10, the WiFi connects automatically. Not a difficult problem but it is a frustrating time drag! Anyone got some help (other than migrating to LINUX or APPLE)?
Have you Googled the problem? Very few issues haven’t been documented on-line.
Not sure I understand. On startup it connects, but restart it does. Not clear to me.
Yes, ran a GOOGLE but all it revealed was that RESTART was recommended. Not helpful.
I want to boot and connect - not have to RESTART after BOOT just to get my WiFi associated...PITA factor.
My connection has the WiFi info (obviously) and I have “Connect Automatically” checked.
I have an older laptop that has limited battery-life and I use up to 25% of available power with the START/RESTART.
I take it you tried the “diagnose” pull-down menu selection under Control Panel=>Network Connections=>[connection]?
Yep.
I ran the TROUBLESHOOT application and after several minutes, it indicated that the connection could not be resolved.
go to control panel, Network and Sharing then click on WiFi then run diagnose. It may correct your problem.
see my #5
Right click on start —> Command Prompt (Admin)
In DOS prompt
netsh i i r r
netsh winsock reset
netsh winhttp reset proxy
ipconfig /flushdns
Reboot.
Because WIN 10 sucks. I don’t have this problem but many others.
Did you check for wireless card driver updates since upgrading?
I let my machine upgrade a couple days ago.. no troubles.
Not a laptop, though and not a WiFi connection.
Assuming you can manually make it connect, there ought to be a way to tell it to save that configuration.
Have a beer.
I went thru the steps in Post #8 It may work?
Dos Equis or a Shiner?
After declining the WDOs 10 update at least 75 times over the past few months, I turned on my computer yesterday and found the “upgrade” “in progress”. It decided it was going to upgrade me whether I liked it or not. This was yesterday, if that means anything to your situation. Well...if you know PCs even as sketchily as I do, the one way to completely obliterate the functionality of same is to shut off an in-progress OS change. So I let it go. Installed properly, but my second monitor would not work, and device manager did not see it (my video card) and could not see it, therefore, there was no way to correct the problem.
I do not know for certain if this is your problem, but I would bet 90% that it is. The very simple fact of the matter is that installing WDOs 10 will obsolete some or all of your existing drivers. This, that, and the other thing will thus simply stop working, and if you wish to retain the use of your existing hardware, you have to get drivers. Except....that since 95+% of drivers these days are plug-n-play, if after the OS install there is no driver it’s a fair conclusion that a driver for whatever you have does not exist. Now you either go buy a new whatever or go back to WDOs 7/8.
I futzed around w/MSFT help for only about an hour. I called the manufacturer of my video card and found out in 30 seconds that there was no WDOs 10 driver available. Nothing to think about. If there is no driver available, the chances are 99.99% that you will never be able to make it work. End of story.
walked thru your information. each step replied with appropriate info in the “C:PROMPT”
Shut down and came back.
Nothing is different.
Still need to BOOT/REBOOT to connect to my already configured WiFi.
:-(
Sheet.. we's po up in here.. have a Busch.
Then when you start to get a gut you can say it's Busch's fault.
I had wifi once...for about 4 days. Then some total stranger phoned me and said my laptop was connecting with his and he’d like it to stop.
Well I wanted it to stop, too. So I disabled the wifi. Permanently and forever.
I am not allowing W10 onto my box for so long as I can keep the cancer at bay. I have stopped the update features and am slowly migrating all my stuff to my Linux box or trying to replace programs with Linux compatible programs. I would like to think I can get away from Windows altogether. I can’t find drivers for my printer, though. There are “universal” printer drivers for Linux but none seem actually downloadable. Perhaps there is a Windows emulator that works in Linux out there so that my W Epson drivers will work.
You may also need to forget the wifi network and reinput the PW.
The same happened to my husbands computer here at home. When he got home from work his computer was almost done up dating to Window 10.
He was furious!!!
When it completed the up date he said he wanted his older Windows....It stated it would take some time to get the old information back. He said he wanted his other Windows. It took about 15 minutes but it did return back...
Click Start and type “services.msc”
This will bring up the services console for your system. Scroll down the list to the “W” section and look for “WLAN AutoConfig.” This is the wireless LAN autoconfiguration/connection service. Make sure it’s started and that it’s set to start Automatically.
If it’s not started, right-click and Start it. If it’s not set to start automatically (NOT automatic delayed start), double-click the entry, click the drop-down next to “Startup Type,” and set it to “Automatic.”
Oftentimes these services are set to delayed start which sometimes never starts.
