Grrr. Windows 10 has turned the WiFi on my laptop off and I have tried every work around I can find on the internet and it still will not turn back on. I go to settings, network and internet and when I click on the button to turn WiFi on it bounces right back to off. I have gone into control panel and cannot find any way to turn it back on. I have updated my drivers, bios turned off the computer putting WiFi to sleep to conserve power. I guess this is quite a common problem according to the web sites I have googled. Has anyone else had this problem and if so how did you solve it. I am so exasperated to not have my laptop. Thank you with hugs, Barba
Right click on window symbol and sign out
Reboot
Make sure you are not in airplane mode.
Reboot your router. It may not be a windows issue.
You said that you have tried every work-around that you have found on the internet, but I wonder if you have seen any of the following pages. I ask because sometimes my husband and I will look up something on Google and come up with different results - perhaps because we are using different browsers.
This is a blog with a couple of solutions that some say fixed their Wi-Fi : http://www.drivethelife.com/windows-10/fix-no-wifi-available-after-windows-10-update.html

If you have an HP laptop here is what they recommend you try for their system: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04649175
Dell also has a page with possible fixes for their laptops that you can look up.
Hope you find a solution to your internet problem soon! Please let us know what worked for you. Good luck! Judy
Just finished checking every link and tried all the fixes. Still no wifi internet. It does work if I connect directly to router but that is a pain. By the number of people complaining, I am not alone in my quest to get wifi back. Thank you again with hugs, Barba
I wish I could have helped you fix your internet problem. Sorry. Judy

Hopefully this helps. Judy
Other than that, I can only think of doing a "system restore" to a time when everything was working, going back to your previous version of windows, or doing a clean install of windows 10. (I have read that the Wi-Fi problem is not an issue for those that have done a clean install.) The other choice is to seek professional help.
If you do get it fixed, Barba, please do let us know how you did it.
BTW, only mainstream support has ended for windows 7 - you would still get security patches until January 14, 2020. Here is a very interesting article with information about that: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2452702/dont-panic-yes-windows-7-is-leaving-mainstream-support-but-it-isnt-being-abandoned.html Judy
