Hello All-
Having issues with Wi-Fi dropping on my Windows 10 Home PC. It happend occasinally in the past, but now it’s happening frequently, especially after the monitor goess off (set to 2 hours).
System details – HP Win 10 Home, 64-bit, OS Build 19041.572 (older machine, has only 4GB RAM). I have not updated to latest build due to keep losing connectivity.
I have tried all of the following (not in the order shown), all to no avail:
- Click Connect, but often get “Can’t Connect to this Network”. If I then turn off and turn back on Wi-Fi, I can then connect.
- Look to update driver (none available)
- Uninstall & reinstall data adapter
- Forget and “Remember” the connection
- Turned off Wi-Fi Power Saver
- Ran Network Troubleshooter countless times, and it keeps telling me “problem with wireless adapter or access point”. That’s when I googled all the potential fixes, obviously to no avail. Here’s what the troubleshooting log says:
- Network adapter Wi-Fi driver information:

- Made sure it’s a Private Network
- Ran the various Command Line directions, i.e. ipconfig /release, ipconfig /renew, netsh winsock reset, netsh int ip reset, ipconfig /flushdns, ipconfig /registerdns all to no avail
I am totally at a loss here. Is there something obvious that I’m missing?
Cheers,
