URGENT HELP WITH WIRELESS ERROR WINDOWS 10

[The_Dillster]

Working on my friends laptop but for some strange reason the wireless icon in the bottom right of the screen takes at least 4-5 minutes to load in, any idea what's going on here??

Thanks in advance

Is network available before the icon "loads up" ??

Hi there, if I go into the action centre the network is available there but unfortunately that wouldn't be a fix for this

Reinstalling windows is generally the fastest solution to problems with windows.

Alas, this isn't an option for this either. Thanks fot the comment though!

You have to provide more info here. I mean can you access the internet(web browser,ect.) while wireless icon is in "loading mode", or is it a case of waiting for icon to show up in metro and then selecting and connecting to SSID?

Should keep storage on 2 partitions, a small one for windows in case reinstalling is needed, and long term storage on the secondary one so data isn't lost.

 

Also does it still have the charms/widgets if you go to the top right of the screen with the mouse or swipe in from the right? because wireless should be there as well.

The os: windows 10

It is possible to access the internet as the connection is active as the pc boots

By action centre I'm meaning notification panel>action centre

Ok, I know 3 WiFi issues in win 10:

1) Upgrade Issues, fixed by this: LINK

2) Metro UI bugs with apps, fixed by this: LINK

3) Simple Icon add to Task Bar, fixed by this: LINK

 

Hope you find what you are looking for. 

 

Also, 4) a drivers issues, fixed by this: make sure you have the manufacture one not windows 10 ones!

Thanks for those awesome posts! 3) was the closest one but that's where the problems seems to be. after i open the settings> Turn system icons on or off the network icon is off but unable to be turned on? come on windows...
