So, I connected to my network. It does I am connected. I have disconnected and reconnected again. Yet applications all claim that I am offline. No Cortana, no edge. No steam. Anybody else experience this?

Just a guy who peaked at building back in the days of the GTX 980. If you see me here, assume i have technical knowledge akin to a committed hobbyist builder back then. If something's changed, you'll need to tell me(nicely plz). I'm probably asking for help with the modern build scene since I have no clue what's going on.

I'm not using it but it sounds like the driver might not be 100% compatible with your wireless networking card.

So, new drivers time?

Idk, in my laptop. Irrelevant though, as I can't get new drivers because I just checked my wired connection... Limited.

If you were using Windows 7 prior to the Windows 10 update, you will need to install the Windows 8/8.1 drivers for your PC for everything to work.

Remember to install correct/updated drivers before posting. For laptops, you can usually find the wireless drivers on your laptop manufacturers' website.

EDIT: Also, did you restart? xD

It doesn't seem to have a Windows 10 compatible driver and i can't find out what is the wireless NIC for your laptop.

 

Go to Device manager and expand Network Adapters and give me the model of the Wireless NIC.

 

Quick question....did you check to see if your Wireless NIC is disabled?
