    How do I update or activate Windows if I can’t connect to my WiFi?


    I’m having trouble getting my windows 11 laptop updated because it doesn’t connect to the WiFi. Just above the task bar on the far bottom right it says “Activate Windows: Go to Settings to activate windows” but in order for me to do that, I need the WiFi. Every time I try to connect to the WiFi it says “No internet connection” I’ve tried looking for videos to help me, and nothing has worked. I’m starting to think there’s no way to fix this. Please give me some advice.

    :)

    Can't connect to wifi after Windows Update

    I have now tried all of the suggested steps at least twice.

    The only instance of seemingly achieving any progress was the first time I performed a clean boot, when the wifi connection actually worked. But after that, I tried following the steps to isolate the problem and then after restarting the computer, all of
    my wireless features have disappeared again. I have tried repeating the entire sequence of steps again, but the wifi hasn't worked again. It just worked that one time, but I don't know why it was different that time.

    I have been trying to fix this for over 11 hours, but haven't been able to connect back to wifi.

    I would like to know if rolling back the Windows Update is an option and, if so, how to do that and how to prevent Windows from updating again.

    When will the wifi connectivity problems be solved?


    OK, so the Windows 10 engineers bollixed up the wifi connectivity part of the operating system. Everybody knows that by now. It seems they are making some progress in resolving it. Now, instead of seeing "Secured, No Internet" on your list of wifi connections, you see "Connected, Secured" EXCEPT no webpages will load. So you really aren't connected. It does seem to be a step in the right direction. Does anybody know when they plan on a full and complete repair of this screw up of epic proportions?

    Can´t connect to my Wifi network

    Hi everyone,

    I can´t connect to my Wifi from my desktop with Window 10. I had an ethernet cable before and it worked perfectly but now I can´t connect my computer to the router through the cable anymore.

    For some reason it detects my wifi network but when i try to connect it says i cant connect.

    I followed a few tutorials online of how to fix it and still didn´t work.

    any help please???

    thanks in advance

    Ramon
