Hi,Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. I understand the inconvenience you are facing.
I will certainly help you with this.This issue might happen due to incompatible Network adaptor drivers, automatic switching off adaptor to save power etc. Kindly follow the below given methods and check if it helps.Method 1:I suggest you to run Network adaptor troubleshooter and check if it works:. Click on Start and enter troubleshooting in the search box. Tap or click Troubleshooting. Tap or click Network and Internet, tap or click Network Adapter, and follow the instructions on your screen.Method 2:Reinstall the Network driver in compatibility modeThough you have installed network driver numerous times and it didn’t helped.
The issue could have occurred due to the drivers installed not being compatible with Windows 10.In order to use the drivers which are designed or developed for a different Operating System, we need to install them in compatibility mode. Using your method of uninstalling the driver works, however, it stops working whenever my computer automatically restarts. At that point, I have to uninstall the driver again, then re-add various wifi passwords and all that. It's definitely better thanno access at all, but is there any way I can do this so the fix is permanent?I should note I don't have a Surface, I have an ASUS laptop with a Ralink 802.11n wireless card in it. But it seems like this issue is tied to the OS, not the computer type.
I don't have any setup files I can run in compatibility mode: the.sys drivers arein the /drivers/ directory already. When I right click them, I don't have an option to run in compatibility mode.

Hi.I have an issue with my Network Settings. As I try to connect to the internet on the wifi in our marina, the WiFi button turns itself off and I get the message 'WiFi Turned Off'. I didn't turn it off.
I go to network settings and turn it on (slider button). It immediately flicks itself off again. I didn't do it, it just does it itself. This really, really, really irritates me. If I wanted something that made decisions for me I'd buy an Apple.
I don't want it to do anything except what I want it to do. Using a Realtek adapter. Had a look at the device settings and though there seem to be 4 copies of this in there, none of them are grayed out and all report that they are working.
Why I need 4 is beyond me, though.Anyone got any ideas?If I have a good internet connection, this does not happen. However, most marinas have garbage internet and this is where it happens.Hoges.
Can you find the model number of the Toshiba laptop?for what the sticker should look like.Next thing I would suggest is making sure the wireless adapter drivers are up to date. Enter your for the latest drivers. If the wireless software is crashing because of a partially corrupted driver, then that might be what is forcing it to turn off. Also, 'garbage' wifi could might use older routers that have compatibility issues, compounding the problem.

The site doesn't recognise my laptop because it's an Australian model and it will only recognise US or Latin American laptops. When I try to go to the Australian site, my model number doesn't appear for some reason.
It never ceases to amaze me how a company can issue a piece of equipment and then deny it was ever part of inventory (not only computer companies, I might add) The unit is a Satellite P850, with a model number PSPKFA-OE9001. There seem to be 4 Realtek Drivers in the mix, all of which report that they are working. See if downloading and installing for the wireless adapter in the PSPKFA-OE9001 helps. Might want to backup or create a restore point before you do, just in case, but you should be able to roll back the driver just in case. Also, see if you have more then one wireless program in the bottom right corner of your screen when on your non-metro desktop, next to the clock. If you do, try right clicking on the one that isn't Windows, and click on disable or quit.There are two icons for Realtek Wireless LAN.
When I hover over them, BOTH say 'no Realtek Wireless LAN'. Why bother to put the icons there if the drivers aren't there??? Got me fooled. Anyway, I'm leaning towards one of your previous theories about power not being sufficient to run WiFi, Windows turns if off to protect itself. At the moment, I'm using my phone tethered to the laptop and all is ok. I also have 100% battery.
I'll remove the power and run the battery down and see what happens. I'll d/l the driver anyway - Realtek aren't my favourite company - I had a Wifi extender some years ago in the Bahamas and I had to email them several times, with nil response, ever. Thanks for the advice. Pulling the plug now. See if downloading and installing for the wireless adapter in the PSPKFA-OE9001 helps.

Dell Wifi Keeps Turning Off

Thanks for the advice. Pulling the plug now.DUH. Helps if I type in PSPKFA -(Zero) E9001 instead of OE. However, Toshiba's downloads only go to Windows 8 64Bit for the P850, and it's the Realtek one anyway. Your link, because of the incorrect info I gave you, doesn't find anything.
