Losing Wi-Fi AFTER Sleep

Hello @W10 Tweaker,

W10 Tweaker said:

Given that your Ethernet always connects successfully and that the WiFi network adapter connection priority is set to second last according to your screenshot, I would try swapping the interface metric value between the Ethernet (5) & WiFi (55) connections as a test.

That is a good idea, I will look into that.

The thing is, when I click the Internet Icon in the Taskbar, my Wi-Fi is at the TOP of the list when connected.



Could I set Wi-Fi InterfaceMetric = 1 and Ethernet InterfaceMetric = 2 for example?

What is the Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1?

OR, are you talking about this? . . .

If so, could I change them to these? . . .

Code:

::Amended Wi-Fi . . .
PowerShell Set-NetIPInterface -InterfaceIndex "18" -AddressFamily IPv4 -InterfaceMetric "1"

::Amended Ethernet . . .
PowerShell Set-NetIPInterface -InterfaceIndex "17" -AddressFamily IPv4 -InterfaceMetric "2"

Has the OP thought of running the script via VBScript, which can stop a command window appearing?

Sorry, I do NOT understand what you are talking about.
What VBScript?

Hello @Matthew Wai,

What script are you actually using now? Post it here.

There are NO Scripts. I am Troubleshooting an ongoing problem with my Wi-Fi on rare occasions NOT waking-up.

I have run ALL the PowerCFG Reports + MANY other tests etc. If you look through the thread from Post #1, you will see what I have already tried along with the results.

Hello @W10 Tweaker,

I updated my Post #32 with additional information.

Hello @MaloK,

Thanks for the information.

I do NOT use Hibernation or Fast Startup.

I intend performing a Clean Install at any time now, but FIRST, I would like to find a definitive answer as to what is causing this problem. It is NOT intended as a learning curve, although it has been very interesting and informative to Diagnose and Troubleshoot. The added benefit is if it happens again, either on my computer or somebody elses, as I will know the possible cause and solution.

Hello @RickC,

I have just checked my Google Update Services gupdate and gupdatem . . .

Attachment 346711

I might set the gupdate to Manual [ Demand ] via . . .

Code:

sc stop gupdate >nul & sc config gupdate start=demand

EDIT: - Changed. I will see what happens.

Just an information update really.

I noticed that earlier this evening, my Google Chrome was updated to Version 94.0.4606.61 (Official Build) (64-bit). Therefore, the changes that I made above made NO difference.

I have now set them BOTH to Startup Type: Disabled via . . .

Code:

sc stop gupdate >nul & sc config gupdate start=disabled
sc stop gupdatem >nul & sc config gupdatem start=disabled

I will now wait until the NEXT Google Chrome Update to see if this has the desired result.

Well, that did NOT work.
