Windows 10 WiFi connection after sleep
Ever since I upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7, I've had WiFi issues. This only happens after the computer is woken up from sleeping.
It may already have the previous day's connection open, and if not I can connect to it or any other network. However it doesn't matter. Every connection says there's no Internet available. I might add that it's always a public WiFi and the accept terms screen never pops up. It also doesn't matter what the public network is.
My current workaround is to disable my network adaptor and immediately re-enable it. Then I connect to the WiFi without any issues. This is a workable solution, but it's getting old. Any ideas?
Here's my system:
- OS: Windows 10 Professional 64-bit
- Network adapter: Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6200 AGN
- Drivers: Intel NETwsw00.sys (15.11.0.7) , vwifibus.sys (rs1_release.160715-1616)
- System security: Kaspersky Total Security
My old laptop encountered similar problems following the upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10. I was able to alleviate the problem by disabling the Fast Startup option:
- Open the
Control Panel
in icons view. - Select
Power Options
- Select
Choose what the power buttons do
on the upper-left. - Select
Change settings that are currently unavailable
link near the top (if prompted by UAC, select Yes). - Under
Shutdown settings
, uncheck the box toTurn on fast startup
- Click on the
Save Changes
button. - Close the
System Settings
window and reboot.
