I used the Troubleshooting tool, and that didn't give my any helpful advice or answers, so I got nothing.įor reference, I have a Broadcom 802.11ac Network Adapter, Driver Version 6.30.95.14, and a Qualcomm Atheros AR8151 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller, Driver Version 2.1.0.7. Restarting several times didn't seem to fix this issue, and using system restore didn't seem to work either. I checked all the drivers for my WiFi adapter, and my Ethernet adapter, and both are up to date and display as working properly. Plugging in an ethernet cord still works, so no issues with that adapter or my home internet. Seeing as I live in the middle of a densely populated city, this isn't possible. Tap on the icon to switch it on and off rapidly and wait for the Wi-Fi to be restored. The best you can do is to drag down the notifications menu and select the Wi-Fi icon. Upon logging back in, my computer was unable to find any WiFi networks. For problems such as frequent dropping of the Wi-Fi connectivity to complete drop in the network for a long time, you can try to switch between the connectivity to another to see if it works. However, during the installation, it failed (again) due to either my antivirus or the aforementioned driver issues.
I didn't need Windows 8.1 yet, so I didn't download it before then.
A while ago, after accidentally opening the Store app, Windows forced me to restart to install Windows 8.1, which I was unable to weeks before because of driver issues.
