SOLVED Wifi issues

[jpk]

Just installed a fresh copy of W10 on my laptop. When I try to turn on my wifi adapter the switch jumps back to off. In looking in device manager it says the device is installed and working properly. What is preventing turning on the wifi adapter? Thanks.

You could try this. Open Settings > Network & Internet > Status. Click on "Network Troubleshooter" it will run the troubleshooter, diagnose and repair network problems.

Tried that. No go.

I remembered to turn on wifi through using the function button on the keyboard. So, Fn + the little antenna button.

Laptop keyboard: Fn + Antenna button = turn on.
