Welcome back, in this video I’ll hopefully show you how to fix no wifi networks showing
up in Windows 10. This problem could be caused by a few reasons, and we’ll by trying plenty
of possible solutions to fix no networks available in today’s video. Remember to leave a like
if the video helped and feel free to subscribe too it really helps me out. Let’s get into
the method to fix this. The first thing to mention is to check that
there aren’t any problems with your router. It might be worth restarting it, but you could
also try connecting another device to it to check it. Also, make sure it is within range
as that could be a reason that your network adapter cannot discover it.
Now that we’ve ruled out problems with the router, let’s move on to some of the fixes
within Windows 10. Firstly, quickly check that WiFi is turned on and Flight mode is
turned off. This can be done in the notifications area in the bottom right of the screen.
Next, we’ll try troubleshooting the problem. This will let Windows check for any problems
automatically. To do this, first go to the main settings page, you can get there by clicking
on the cog icon within the start menu. In settings, go to update and security. Now choose
troubleshoot from the options on the left side. There are two troubleshooters that we
can run in here. The first one is called internet connections. Click on it and then select run
the troubleshooter. Allow Windows to check for and fix any problems. The second troubleshooter
to run is called network adapter and it should be further down the list. Run that one and
see if Windows can fix it. If Windows returns a problem but can’t fix it itself, research
this specific problem online for a fix. However, we might fix it in the rest of this video,
so stick around just in case. If the issue occurred after installing a recent
Windows 10 update, then you can try uninstalling that update. You only need to do this though
if you are confident the update caused the problem. I’ll leave a link to a video showing
you how to uninstall a recent Windows update in the description. I would recommend following
the rest of this video first though to see if we can fix it without having to uninstall
the update. Also, it’s worth thinking about any software
changes you have made recently that could have caused the issue. It’s possible that
a VPN could be causing the problem so if you have one try removing it if you think that
might have caused this to start happening. It’s also possible that some anti-virus
software could be causing this problem so perhaps uninstall that to check.
Next, we’ll see if the issue is driver related. If the problem has only just occurred, it
might be worth rolling back or trying to update your device drivers. To do this, first go
to the device manager. You can get there by searching for it in the search bar. Once in
the device manager, find where it says network adapters. Find your network adapter from this
list, it should have the words network adapter in its name, and it might look like mine but
if you’re not sure then let me know in the comments and I will try and help. When you’ve
found it, double click on it and then go to the driver tab. If you think a recent driver
update may have caused it then you can select roll back driver and follow the steps. Whether
or not a recent driver update caused the problem, it’s worth checking for driver updates,
so this time click on update driver and then choose the automatic option. It’s unlikely
this will work as Windows probably won’t be able to search the internet in your case
with no WiFi, but it’s worth a try to see if it can find anything on your PC. Allow
Windows to search for a driver update and then follow the steps. You may need to restart
if you either roll back your driver or if Windows finds one to update.
We’re now going to try disabling and then reenabling the network adapter. To do this
go back to the device manager and find your network adapter again. Right click on it and
select disable device and then yes. Wait a few moments and then right click on it again
and then select enable. Now try connecting to your network to see if that’s fixed it.
If that didn’t work, we’ll now try reinstalling the network adapter. To do this, stay in the
device manager and find your network adapter but this time right click on it and select
uninstall device. Check the box that says delete driver software and then click uninstall.
You will now need to restart your PC to check if this has worked. Windows will reinstall
your device once you start up. You may need to wait a few minutes after restarting for
it to work. The next thing to try will be to reset our
network connection settings. To do this we need to head to the command prompt. You can
get here by searching for it in the search bar but before opening it you will need to
right click on it and select run as administrator. When it opens, we need to input some specific
text. I will include this at the bottom of the description if you want to copy and paste
it. First enter “n” “e” “t” “s” “h” and then a space, then “w” “I”
“n” “s” “o” “c” “k” then another space and finally “r” “e”
“s” “e” “t”. Hit the enter key on your keyboard and it should complete immediately,
and the message will tell you to restart your PC. You won’t need to do that straight away
though, as we have a few more commands to try. The next command to type will be “n”
“e” “t” “s” “h”, then space then “I” “n” “t” space “I”
“p” space “r” “e” “s” “e” “t”. Press the enter key to run this command.
The next command to enter is “I” “p” “c” “o” “n” “f” “I” “g”
space “forward slash” “r” “e” “l” “e” “a” “s” “e”, press
enter again to run this one. Now type in “I” “p” “c” “o” “n” “f” “I”
“g” space “forward slash” “r” “e” “n” “e” “w” and then press
enter. Finally, type “I” “p” “c” “o” “n” “f” “I” “g” space
“forward slash” “f” “l” “u” “s” “h” “d” “n” “s” and
press enter. Now try restarting your PC to see if any of these commands helped you to
find any networks to connect to. The final possible solution to try is to manually
add the network you want to connect to. To do this, we need to go to the network and
sharing centre. To get to the network and sharing centre, first go to the control panel.
You can get there by searching for it in the search bar. In the control panel, click on
network and internet and then choose network and sharing centre. You should now have the
option to set up a new connection or network so click on that. Now choose “manually connect
to a wireless network” from the options, it should be the third one and click next.
You now need to input the network name; this will be on the router itself. The security
type will likely be WPA 2, but you may need to check this by researching your router online
or you could try each of the options until it works. Enter the password and then click
next. You should now be connected if this has worked.
Those are all the solutions I have, if you have any questions please let me know in the
comments. If you believe there’s a problem with your network adapter, a good temporary
fix would be to try a wired connection, or you could even buy a USB network adapter.
They aren’t too expensive and should work just as well. Also click on the card now to
