I had that issue at home, when I've changed the password on router then windows connected with no problem.

But now I'm in anothet place when I don't have access to router and the problem occured again.

I've reset router, windows, wifi adapter copy/paste password from plain text, nothing works.

Wifi connect to phone hotspot with no problems.

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Internet and connectivity

    Hi svandi,

    That is curious. So it’s only this 1 network giving you issues, correct?

    Let’s try a couple things:

    Start - settings - network & internet - WiFi - manage known networks, remove the network if it’s there. Reboot. Once booted back up, go ahead and try to connect to it again.

    If no luck, let’s click start - settings - network & internet and click “network troubshooter” and see if that can find the problem.

    If still no dice, let’s do a network reset.

    Start - Settings - Network & Internet & Status - Network reset. After you initiate it, it should take a few minutes and your PC will reboot. See if you can connect.

    Let me know, and we’ll go from there!

    And other devices can get on that network without an issue I’m assuming...

    Can you create another user account for testing purposes, see if it’ll let you on under a different profile?

    There was the same problem at my house and when I've changed wifi password on the router the problem was fixed. At new location there is the same problem but I dont have and will not have permission to access the admin for router.

    I dont have this connection on the remembered list.

    So there is no problems shown when i do network troubleshooter.

    Network reset - done.

    Update WIFI driver - done.
