The next time I go to use it, the laptop comes out of hibernation and picks up where it left off — usually displaying the shutdown screen for a minute or so before switching off altogether. Does wonders for my productivity. Now you would think that it would create one, but if it does not then you need to add one.
Go to Control PanelNetwork and Sharing Center and then click Manage Wireless Networks and click on the ADD button on the left and add a profile suitable for your connection, setting it to automatically connect, I guess. Try this fix, it worked for me. Skip to content. If you can connect, the source of the problem is likely due to your device—go to the section Network troubleshooting on your device. If you can't connect to the network on any device, continue to the next step.
Check to see if there is a problem with the connection to your Wi-Fi router. Do this by using a ping test. Select Search on the taskbar, type Command prompt. The Command Prompt button will appear. At the command prompt, type ipconfig , and then select Enter. Look for the name of your Wi-Fi network within the results, and then find the IP address listed next to Default gateway for that Wi-Fi network.
Write down that address if you need to. For example: For example, type ping The results should be something like this:. Reply from Ping statistics for If you see results like this and are getting a reply, then you have a connection to your Wi-Fi router, so there might be a problem with your modem or ISP. Contact your ISP or check online on another device if you can to see if there's a service outage.
If the results of the ping test indicate that you are not getting a reply from the router, try connecting your PC directly to your modem by using an Ethernet cable if you can. If you can connect to the internet using an Ethernet cable, it confirms the connection problem is due to the Wi-Fi router. Make sure you've installed the latest firmware and see the documentation for your router. At the command prompt, run the following commands in the listed order, and then check to see if that fixes your connection problem:.
Type netsh winsock reset and select Enter. Type netsh int ip reset and select Enter. Uninstall the network adapter driver and restart. Windows will automatically install the latest driver. Consider this approach if your network connection stopped working properly after a recent update.
Before uninstalling, make sure you have drivers available as a backup. Select Search on the taskbar, type Device Manager , and then select Device Manager from the list of results. Expand Network adapters , and locate the network adapter for your device. After your PC restarts, Windows will automatically look for and install the network adapter driver.
Check to see if that fixes your connection problem. If Windows doesn't automatically install a driver, try to install the backup driver you saved before uninstalling.
Check if your network adapter is compatible with the latest Windows Update. If you lost your network connection immediately after upgrading to or updating Windows 11, it's possible that the current driver for your network adapter was designed for a previous version of Windows.
To check, try temporarily uninstalling the recent Windows Update:. Select the Start button, then enter settings. If uninstalling the most recent update restores your network connection, check to see if an updated driver is available:. To learn how to hide updates, see Hide Windows Updates or driver updates. If you could successfully install updated drivers for your network adapter, then reinstall the latest updates.
To do this, select the Start button, then enter settings. Using network reset should be the last step you try. This can help solve connection problems you might have after upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows It can also help to fix the problem where you can connect to the internet, but can't connect to shared network drives. Network reset removes any network adapters you have installed and the settings for them. After your PC restarts, any network adapters are reinstalled, and the settings for them are set to the defaults.
Network reset might set each one of your known network connections to a public network profile. In a public network profile, your PC is not discoverable to other PCs and devices on the network, which can help make your PC more secure. Under Network profile type , select Private. Wi-Fi adapter manufacturers might have different advanced settings you can change based on your network environment or connection preferences.
In Device Manager, select Network adapters , and then double-click the network adapter name. Select the Advanced tab and look for a Wireless Mode setting.
Windows uses the Wi-Fi profile to save the settings that are needed to connect to a Wi-Fi network. These settings include the network security type, key, network name SSID , and so on. To fix this, remove or "forget" the network connection, then reconnect to the network. When you forget a network connection, it removes the Wi-Fi network profile from your PC.
Select Wi-Fi , then select Manage known networks. Afterwards, select the Wi-Fi icon on the taskbar and try to reconnect to the network to renew the network connection. For more info, see Wi-Fi problems and your home layout. There may be additional troubleshooting steps you can try, depending on which symptoms you're having. To view these steps, check out Wi-Fi connection icons and what they mean. Setting up a wireless network. How to find your wireless network password. Analyze the wireless network report.
Wi-Fi tools and apps. Make a Wi-Fi network public or private in Windows. Afterwards, see if a Wi-Fi network you recognize and trust appears in the list of networks. Under Change your network settings , select Network troubleshooter.
In the search box on the taskbar, type Command prompt. In the search box on the taskbar, type Device Manager , and then select Device Manager from the list of results. If you lost your network connection immediately after upgrading or updating Windows 10, it's possible that the current driver for your network adapter was designed for a previous version of Windows. This can help solve connection problems you might have after upgrading from a previous version of Windows to Windows Under Network profile , select Private.
Afterwards, select the Wi-Fi icon on the taskbar and try to reconnect to the desired network to renew the network connection. Check for additional symptoms for the "No internet connection" icon. Make a Wi-Fi network public or private in Windows Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, select Settings , then select the Network icon.
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then select Settings. Select the Network icon, and then select Hidden network. My point is to start your troubleshooting by checking for physical connectivity. Here are some questions to ask yourself:. Whether you have a wired or wireless connection, the questions are the same or similar.
Take for example this Vista Wireless network connection status:. Figure 1: Vista Wireless Connection Status. In this case, the media is wireless but the important thing is that it is enabled. If you are attempting to connect to a wireless network, make sure that you are actually connected to a network. You can click on Connect to a Network to either connect or disconnect from a wireless or dialup network. On a computer with a physical Ethernet connection, you are going to look for the same thing.
Figure 2: Windows Media Stat. On this server, you can see that the Ethernet media on the wired LAN connection is enabled and you can see that the speed is If you can verify these things, more on up the OSI model until you find the issue.
Let us say that you checked your media state and your link light and you have physical network connectivity. To do this, open the Network and Sharing Center and assuming you have a connection, click on the View Status for your connected network interface.
Figure 3: Viewing the Status of your Connection. If you take a look at the details for the connection in Figure 4, notice that this connection has no default gateway or DNS servers. Lack of these will certainly prevent you from really using your network connection as normal. Of course, neither of these are required but most of us want to communicate outside of our local LAN.
A default gateway is required for that. Also, most of us want to communicate with servers by name such as using www. Even if you do have a valid IP address, default gateway, and DNS Servers, you should ping these to ensure that you can really communicate with them. Fortunately for those who do not want to get into troubleshooting, Vista does offer the automatic Diagnose and Repair of network connections. To use diagnose and repair, just open the Network and Sharing Center and click on Diagnose and Repair.
