I updated to windows 10 from windows 7 last night, and it went off without a hitch. My wireless internet worked at first without a problem as well, but after I rebooted my desktop computer (I have an Asus aspire desktop - don't have the exact make and model with me) a few times because I deinstalled a lot of the apps I didn't want, it stopped all of a sudden to connect to my home wifi network. It recognizes that it is there and shows it as an available network, but when I try to connect it tells me that "Keine Verbindung mit diesem Netzwerk möglich" - no connection to this network possible. I tried to deinstall the driver of my wireless card and reinstall that, but that didn't yield any results.
I also don't know where to actually manage my saved internet connections so that I don't have to type in my wireless password all the time. It was saved under Windows 7, but after I deinstalled the driver of my wireless adapter it was deleted. Apparently it should be there in network center but it just doesn't show up.
I use an Belkin USB wireless adapter, and Windows 10 recognizes the adapter as it shows up in the hardware manager and network settings of Windows 10. Just whenever I try to connect with the network, it just won't. The strength of the signal also went down, at least the network symbol shows a weaker connection then previously.
I have read that there were issues if one had outdated VPN software installed before the update, which I had. But the described problems have the wireless adapter NOT showing up, and that isn't the case here. I don't know whether the solution - a cmd prompt to delete a registry entry - would help, and I don't want to risk and possibly make things worse.
EDIT I tried a system restore to about 24 hours - right after I had finished the update - and that failed, no idea why. So now I am rolling back to Windows 7. Hopefully that will give me back my internet capabilities, and then I'll just wait out the teething problems of Windows 10. I liked it, but it has a lot of superflous stuff as well. If not - then I just don't know. I saved the important data.
I hope anybody in here has an idea about how to fix this issue. Thanks in advance!
