First Windows Update, now WiFi not working properly
Hi everyone!
I noticed some months ago that Windows Update was not working properly. While fully connected to the internet, it told me: "we cannot connect to the updateservice ..." Looking at my internet connection, I noticed that inside Windows Settings it told me that I was not connected, while the WiFi icon in the taskbar showed an active connection. When clicking on the WiFi symbol, it showed my SSID with the words 'Connected, Secure'.
In an attempt to solve this issue, I searched on some forums and tried some changes in the register and commands (like ipconfig /flushdns and netsh winsock /reset). Eventually I decided to reset the network via Windows Settings, after which my WiFi did not appear at all anymore.
Connected to the ethernet, I downloaded the latest drivers of my WiFi-adapter (Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160), and installed these. After restarting my computer, at first the WiFi did not work, but after a view minutes it just popped up randomly and started working. Now, every time I restart my computer, the WiFi-adpater is not available at first (it shows the ethernet sign with a red cross in the taskbar), and appears after a few minutes.
Is anyone familiar with this phenomenon? How do I fix this WiFi-problem, and (after that) the Windows Update problem? It might be interesting to add that Microsoft Store did not work either at first, but when I updated the computer manually about a month ago (via the Microsoft Catalogue), this started working again.
I hope anyone can help me!
Thanks,
Sybe
