Hey, what's going on guys, Sandeep here,
and this is another common WiFi problem that

00:05.519 --> 00:13.500
sometimes you can't even connect to any network. If you go to Network
& Internet Settings, then you can see that I am getting this message

00:13.500 --> 00:20.319
you are not connected to any network. So in this video,
I will show you different methods to fix this problem

00:20.319 --> 00:25.559
And if this globe icon is disconnected, or
if you are not getting any WiFi signal or

00:25.559 --> 00:31.040
getting WiFi signal, in all these cases, I
will show you how you can fix this problem

00:31.040 --> 00:38.240
if you are unable to connect to any WiFi network. So
watch this video till end and it will surely help you

00:38.240 --> 00:43.119
So the first thing you should check that if
the WiFi is turned on by physical key, if

00:43.119 --> 00:49.040
there is any physical key on your keyboard or
on the laptop, make sure the WiFi is turned on

00:49.040 --> 00:54.240
And after that, if you are unable to connect to
WiFi network or it is showing you connecting

00:54.240 --> 00:59.400
message for long time, then you can right
click on your network and click on forget

00:59.400 --> 01:03.599
After that, you can try to
connect to your WiFi network again

01:03.599 --> 01:07.279
This happens if you have recently changed
your WiFi password, then you won't be able

01:07.279 --> 01:12.559
to connect. So you have to forget
the password and connect it again

01:12.559 --> 01:17.480
And if you haven't changed your WiFi password
and still unable to connect, then go to Start

01:17.480 --> 01:31.680
and Open Settings. From there go to Network &
Internet. And then click on Change Adapter Settings

01:31.680 --> 01:37.800
Now you will get your WiFi adapter
listed there. Right click on WiFi

01:37.800 --> 01:44.519
And then click on Disable. Right
click on it again and click on Enable

01:44.519 --> 01:50.199
Now check if you are able
to connect to WiFi or not

01:50.199 --> 01:55.559
Now if you are unable to connect to WiFi,
then you can try this Network Troubleshooter

01:55.559 --> 02:01.599
You will get this Network Troubleshooter option on the
WiFi option. So just click on this Troubleshoot option

02:01.599 --> 02:06.839
If there is any problem, then it will try
to find the problem and give you option to

02:06.839 --> 02:14.679
fix the issue. So you have to follow the on-screen
instruction. It may be any kind of network problem

02:14.679 --> 02:19.240
And if you see any problem found
there, just click on View Detail

02:19.240 --> 02:23.940
Then it will show you option to fix the
problem. You just have to click on Next & Next

02:23.940 --> 02:31.919
Then follow on-screen instruction. And if the troubleshooter
is able to fix it, then it will resolve the problem

02:31.919 --> 02:36.020
And if the troubleshooter can't resolve
the problem, you have to reset the network

02:36.020 --> 02:41.880
Click on this Network Reset option.
And then click on Reset again

02:42.320 --> 02:47.419
You have to confirm here. After that,
it will restart your Windows 10 machine

02:47.419 --> 02:55.000
After the restart, it will reset all the network profiles.
You can try to connect to your WiFi network after that

02:55.000 --> 02:59.240
In the most cases, the Network Reset option
should work and you would be able to see your

02:59.240 --> 03:03.639
WiFi network and you would be
able to connect to WiFi network

03:03.639 --> 03:07.880
But in case if you can't connect,
then follow the next method

03:07.880 --> 03:15.240
Now you need to go to Menu and then
Settings. And open Network & Internet Options

03:15.240 --> 03:21.839
And then click on Change Adapter Options.
Right click on this WiFi Adapter

03:21.839 --> 03:27.960
And go to Properties. Now double
click on Internet Protocol Version 4

03:27.960 --> 03:37.479
And make sure Optin IP & DNS are set to Automatic. If there is any
manual value, then you have to delete it and select the Automatic

03:37.479 --> 03:44.639
Click on OK. After that you can try to check
if you are able to connect to your WiFi or not

03:44.639 --> 03:54.880
And also you can reset Advanced Internet Options.
Go to Start and search for Control Panel

03:54.880 --> 04:02.039
And then go to Internet Options.
From there go to Advanced tab

04:02.039 --> 04:08.899
And click on Restore Advanced Options.
And after that hit Apply and OK

04:08.899 --> 04:13.000
After this step you have to restart your Windows
10 and check if you are able to connect to

04:13.000 --> 04:20.059
WiFi or not. If not, follow the next
method. Go to Start and search for CMD

04:20.059 --> 04:34.440
Click on Run as Administrator. And you will get CMD there. On the CMD
you have to type netsh winsock reset and hit enter on your keyboard

04:34.440 --> 04:38.760
And if there is any socket
API errors, it will fix it

04:38.760 --> 04:48.079
Now you can type there ipconfig forwardsless
plus dns to clear the DNS Cache

04:48.079 --> 04:53.640
Clearing the DNS Cache will resolve some problem
if you are unable to open certain websites

04:53.640 --> 05:03.579
And after that you can execute some other commands. If you are connected
to any WiFi and unable to open any website, then you can type ipconfig

05:03.579 --> 05:09.179
then space forwardsless release. It will
work if you are connected to a WiFi

05:09.179 --> 05:13.619
In some cases, you may face this problem that
you are connected to WiFi but websites are

05:13.619 --> 05:22.980
not opening. Then you can release and renew the IP. First
release then again type ipconfig space forwardsless renew

05:22.980 --> 05:30.420
Then it will renew your local IP. Exit the CMD and try to
restart your Windows 10 and check if you are able to connect to

05:30.420 --> 05:39.619
WiFi or not. If not, you can execute some
other commands. Open the CMD as admin again

05:39.619 --> 05:45.540
Now you need to type netsh then space
winsock then space reset then space catalog

05:45.540 --> 05:50.660
This is the similar command which we executed
earlier but you can instruct catalog directly

05:50.660 --> 05:57.859
to reset it. And after that you will get this
message successfully reset the winsock catalog

05:57.859 --> 06:05.619
Now you can reset the IP logs by typing netsh
then space int then space ip then space reset

06:05.619 --> 06:17.920
then space resetlog.txt. Then hit enter on your keyboard.
And you will get this message that resetting ok resetting ok

06:17.920 --> 06:23.380
And if you are not getting this message, you
can directly reset the ipv4 by typing netsh

06:23.380 --> 06:34.100
then space int space ipv4 then space reset then
space resetlog.txt. Both are similar commands

06:34.100 --> 06:44.540
You can execute both of them. And after that exit out the
CMD, restart your Windows 10 and try to check if you are able

06:44.540 --> 06:49.299
to connect to WiFi or not. If
not, follow the next method

06:49.299 --> 06:53.660
For this method, press Windows plus R key
together on your keyboard to open run dialog

06:53.660 --> 07:03.519
box and type there services.msc. Then click on
OK and you will get list of Windows services

07:03.519 --> 07:07.980
On the list of services, you need to find
certain services and make sure they are running

07:07.980 --> 07:14.380
First service you need to check is DHCP
client. Dynamic Host Control Protocol client

07:14.380 --> 07:19.339
Make sure it is running. Right click on it
and click on start if it is not running

07:19.339 --> 07:24.260
And also go to properties and make sure
startup type is selected as automatic

07:24.260 --> 07:30.700
If it is set to manual or automatic delay,
select it automatic and hit apply and ok

07:30.700 --> 07:39.260
Now the next service is WLAN Auto Config. Find
WLAN Auto Config and make sure it is running

07:39.260 --> 07:44.019
And if it is not running, then you need to
right click on it, click on start and also

07:44.019 --> 07:50.220
go to properties and select the startup
type as automatic. Hit apply and ok

07:50.220 --> 07:58.420
So you have to start WLAN Auto Config service. And
you can also check some other network related services

07:58.420 --> 08:03.019
Just press N key on your keyboard and then
it will take you to the network services

08:03.019 --> 08:07.579
And make sure these network services are
running. Like this network setup service

08:07.579 --> 08:15.940
Make sure this service is also running. You can check network related
services and if they are not running, you need to restart them

08:15.940 --> 08:21.100
After that, you can try to check if
you are able to connect to Wi-Fi or not

08:21.100 --> 08:31.459
If not, follow the next method. So you have to press Windows
plus R key together on your keyboard and type there devmgmt.msc

08:31.459 --> 08:41.619
then hit ok. And it will open device manager. From the device
manager, you have to expand this network adapter settings options and

08:41.619 --> 08:47.900
you need to find your network adapter.
It may be Broadcom, Etheros or Realtek

08:47.900 --> 08:57.380
Just find 802.11ac network adapter. Right
click on it and then go to properties

08:57.380 --> 09:04.739
And go to power management. And uncheck this first
option, allow the computer to turn off this device

09:04.739 --> 09:11.299
Uncheck this option and hit ok. And
doing this may not fix the problem

09:11.299 --> 09:15.859
So you need to come to your network
adapter again. Right click on it

09:15.859 --> 09:24.739
And then you can try to uninstall your network adapter. For the first time,
do not select this delete driver software from computer and then click

09:24.739 --> 09:29.940
on uninstall. Restart your Windows 10
and try to check if it is working or not

09:29.940 --> 09:38.659
If not, come back to this screen. Right click on your network
adapter and uninstall device and check this option and hit uninstall

09:38.659 --> 09:43.940
Now restart your Windows 10 again and check
if you are able to connect to Wi-Fi or not

09:43.940 --> 09:50.179
Doing this may fix the problem. If not, you
can try to update the network adapter driver

09:50.179 --> 09:56.659
Right click on your network adapter and click on update
driver. And click on browse my computer for drivers

09:56.659 --> 10:01.380
Then click on let me pick from a list
of available drivers on my computer

10:01.380 --> 10:06.340
Now you need to select a driver to
the date when your Wi-Fi was working

10:06.340 --> 10:14.400
So check the date beside all these available drivers.
And select that driver when your Wi-Fi was working

10:14.400 --> 10:18.500
So select any of the driver from
the past and then click on next

10:18.500 --> 10:25.140
It will reinstall that driver. And you can
play around with different version of drivers

10:25.140 --> 10:28.960
After that you have to restart
and check if it is working or not

10:28.960 --> 10:36.320
In the most cases it should work. And also you can
right click on your Wi-Fi adapter then go to properties

10:36.320 --> 10:43.880
Then go to this driver option. And if you are getting this
rollback option enabled then you can try to rollback your driver

10:43.880 --> 10:48.960
If previous options are not working, updating
drivers are not working, then you can rollback

10:48.960 --> 10:56.979
your drivers from here. After that click on OK, restart,
restart and then try to check if your Wi-Fi is working

10:56.979 --> 11:03.659
or not. In the most cases these methods should
help you to fix the Wi-Fi problem on your Windows

11:03.659 --> 11:09.659
10 PC and you would be able to see Wi-Fi networks
listed and you would be able to connect to

11:09.659 --> 11:15.719
your Wi-Fi network. But if you are really
unlucky then you need to get a working computer

11:15.719 --> 11:22.140
From there go to official website of your
laptop manufacturer and search for the driver

11:22.140 --> 11:33.760
You can just search for your laptop model and then driver. You
may have to select your laptop model and certain other things

11:33.760 --> 11:38.960
Select OS and after that you will get
networking or network related driver

11:38.960 --> 11:44.520
It may be different in your case so anyhow you
have to download the Wi-Fi driver on different

11:44.520 --> 11:50.359
computer and then transfer it to affected
computer and install the Wi-Fi driver

11:50.359 --> 11:58.340
Installing the Wi-Fi driver should fix the problem. So these were
some methods to fix if you are unable to connect to any Wi-Fi network
