Windows 10 integrates a suspension system with which hard drives, monitors and others are turned off, avoiding the unnecessary consumption of resources since if we are absent for a period of time, the system suspension will be a valuable ally to help us preserve the team life..
When we activate the system again, the network connectivity process must be carried out again and in some cases the Wi-Fi network simply does not react preventing Windows 10 from connecting correctly . If this is your problem, TechnoWikis has for you a series of tips that will help you correct this error and allow connectivity as it should be.
1. How to restart Windows 10
The most basic step is to restart the equipment. This allows the services and processes of the operating system to be refreshed and within these services is the network service. When suspended, the network controller can fail, so a simple restart will help everything work the way it is.
For this we go to the Start menu and there we click on the off button and select "Restart":
2. Run Windows 10 troubleshooter

We must uncheck the box "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save energy" since if this happens the driver will not be available to connect, we click OK to save the changes..
5. How to change the Windows wireless network profile
It is possible that the current configuration of the network profile influences how you connect to the network or not, so if we change the profile we can provide a comprehensive solution. For this we go again to the properties of the wireless network from the Action Center and in the new window we will go to the "Network Profile" section and edit from Public to Private or vice versa:
Note
The public profile does not advise TechnoWikis for security reasons.
6. How to edit Windows power options
Power is managed by Windows 10 with a focus on saving resources that depend on it, such as batteries or monitors, but its configuration can affect the way the system connects to the network.

Note
If we operate a portable computer, we must apply the changes to both the live and battery options.
We click Apply to save the changes.
7. How to update WiFi controller settings
For this step, the first thing to do is update the Wi-Fi network controller.
Step 1
For this we go to the Device Manager and there we right-click on the network controller located in the "Network adapters" section and select "Update driver":
Step 2
We can update it manually or automatically:
Step 3
If the error persists, we access the properties of the controller and we will go to the "Controller" tab and, if available, we click on the button "Revert to the previous controller":
This is because some errors are associated with recent updates to the network driver.
