Windows 10: Npcap and Wi-fi

Hi


I have a Npcap Loopback Adapter installed because of WireShark and I've tracked down my wi-fi trouble to this network adapter.

When the npcap adapter is enabled, my wi-fi automatically turn off immediately after I activate it. Only way to connect to a wi-fi network is to disable npcap adapter, active wi-fi and connect and then enable npcap. This allow me to connect to wi-fi and still have npcap enabled.


But how can I fix this so I don't have to disable npcap each time I connect to wi-fi?

This is what I've tried:

• Upgrading to newest win10 version
• Setting the interface metric so wi-fi is prioritized
• Deleting drivers and re-install
• Setting "always on" for wi-fi adapter power settings

Trouble Changing Wi-Fi Password


I've been following the following steps to change my Wi-Fi password for some time:

1. Launch Control Panel.
2. Click "Network and Internet."
3. Click "Network and Sharing Center."
4. Click "Wi-Fi...."
5. Click "Wireless Properties."
6. Click the Security tab.
7. Check "Show characters."
8. Enter the password in "Network security key."

Those steps have been working just fine, but today I discovered a new wrinkle. If I change the password inside the router first, "Wi-Fi..." doesn't appear in step 4. This isn't much of a problem at home, because I can just change the password in Control Panel before I change it inside the router, but it would be a problem at a public hotspot, or something of that nature. I also tested Brink's instructions in "How to Connect To a Wireless Network in Windows 10," but they don't work for me either. How can I fix this?

 

wi fi connection

After windows 1903 update I don't have any wi fi connection or icon showing and have tried many suggestions on how to get it, but none have worked.

Can you provide a step by step instruction on how to get wi fi icon and network.

 

Windows 10 and no wi-fi

Hi Joachim,

I would suggest you to follow the methods below:
