Home computer use can mean self-tutoring. The tutor shares an experience with Windows 10, updating a driver.<\/h1>\n

Suddenly, our Windows 10 computer wouldn’t connect to the wireless network. Each time my wife tried, the computer said something to the effect that it had encountered an error, so had to restart.<\/p>\n

I hooked up an ethernet cable to the computer. Then, it connected to the internet fine. She used it that way.<\/p>\n

I read somewhere (likely at Stack Exchange) that 90% of the time, computer problems result from driver problems. I suspected that a driver update was needed. I went into the device manager, clicked the Network adapters icon, then right-clicked the Wi-Fi adapter. A drop-down menu appeared; I clicked Update driver, then the Search automatically<\/em> option. Next, I received the message that, indeed, the driver was updating. Within a few seconds it told me to restart the computer for the change to take effect. I did so.<\/p>\n

After restarting the computer, I could connect to the wireless network and everything works fine now: I’m uploading without the ethernet cable connected.<\/p>\n

HTH:)<\/p>\n
