Homie The Disable and Enable method worked for me but the problem keeps on happening. Is there any Permanent method to fix the issue or do I have to get a new Wi-fi drive?

[@nsant3790]

Qualcomm atheros ar956 in window 10 every time you start the device is giving the same issue. WiFi sign disappeared, and WiFi adapter also disappeared 😞

Same!

[@ganidhsry]

For me nothing worked. Any other step? Kindly help. Edit: The power flush method worked the second time i tried.

[@ollie12]

Same here. I would recommend that everyone try power flush first, as it was super easy and quick. Didn’t even have to remove my battery out of my laptop. It’s brand new so this was a super frustrating problem to have and I’m glad I didn’t have to go beyond this method.

[@chanuki2195]

​@Utsav Thakur probable some grounded electronic parts for wifi.

[@mora118]

I had to go all the way up to the troubleshooting method and FINALLY I had wifi again and didnt need to just use the cable. thank you.. you've no idea how much I appreciate this. this computer goes everywhere with me and to think that I'd have to have a cable everywhere hooked to a router was impossible. You're wonderful.

[@trailsofthesmokies]

My son had this issue, did reset, update drivers, delete drivers, pressed the power button for 60 sec... nothing worked. THIS WORKED!!! Specifically the Hardware Diagnostic fixed it. If you have the same issue go step by step with this video! Thanks Sandeep Singh!!!

[@dearleaderlorca]

Nicely made. Straight to the point. No extra stuff I don't need. Thorough. Good work, Sandeep.

[@kitten1122]

i just spent 2 hours with windows screen share techs helping me troubleshoot this issue, they even upgraded my os, and the power flush actually worked. im holding back tears

[@MrMGoldberg]

Thanks for this awesome and very detailed video! I had no WiFi access on my Lenovo laptop and nothing worked until I tried the power flash. Excellent instructions! Thanks again.

[@ahmadzainalabidin1898]

Can I just ask which Lenovo are you using? I'm using Legion Slim and my wireless adapter is giving me a lot of issues. I'm just trying to see whether other Legion user is having the same issue or I'm just the unlucky one.

[@gaganchd2000]

already tried most solution over internet. Then checked your video. followed all solutions. How it worked for me. Did register additions. then did deep power restart. Sill Yellow exclamation mark. Then uninstalled drivers again and the scan hardware change. After this Wifi started proper working. Thanks for your steps.

[@jonathonblues4006]

Went through lots of misery trying to get Wi-Fi to work and yours is the only one to fix it, well done thank you!

[@jai5433]

After hours of trying multiple KZbin channels and going through countless steps. I learnt I should read the comments first. What helped me was the 30 sec power flush thanks for your help 🙏

[@zeshwonsos]

Thanks 👍 I learned a couple new troubleshooting steps, I tried all of them including testing a few recent driver releases. In the end it was the 30 second power button trick. My laptop booted and shutdown once and then stayed shut down until I released and pressed the power button again and as soon as I booted my WiFi adapter woke up like i hadn't been hitting it with a hammer for the last hour. I suppose that's a cmos thing

[@nindot78]

Same with me. The 30 second power button trick solved the issue with my wifi device.

[@ildareyerzhanov7852]

i had a problem with Bluetooth and wi-fi and nothing worked until i turned off the power on my laptop, then i noticed Bluetooth is working but wi-fi is still not working and has error 10 but i decided to enable and disable driver and now it is working perfect thank you very much

[@kelseyjane8515]

The power flush method at the end of this video solved my problem, just when I thought it wouldn't work. THANK YOU SO MUCH, this was easy to follow for someone like me with no idea what I'm doing!

[@kaesarcggb]

Exact same. Tried all methods and the power flush method did it for me.

[@Dattekimiyovaimo]

seriously removing the power supply and pressing the key for 30 seconds worked , ur the GOAT , Thanks.

Thanks a lot for all these explainations. Uninstall the device + Power flush + uninstall the device again + power flush again fixed my wifi card.

[@lxProJecTxl]

this comment of yours definitely helped me solve my issue!!! thank you so much!

[@jooncha112]

This worked for me too after nothing else did lol. Struggled for hours, thank you.

[@higher_highs]

Whoever reads this - just hard reset your laptop. Press that power button for a few seconds, until the screen blacks out, then turn it on and it will work, I promise. I've tried everything in this video and only this helped( I had a problem with my Wi-Fi driver).

[@zacharyperez6854]

The power flush saved it. You just saved me from losing my damn mind. Been building computers for years and I’ve never dealt with something like this. Liked and subscribed

[@damian9303]

Same here, have heard of power cycling before but didn't think it could resolve what seemed like a driver issue. But with how no version was working no matter how new or old, it almost made me think the BIOS was the culprit before having done the same as a last ditch effort... Kudos to you for eventually figuring it out, really helped me out here since everything else in the video was in verbatim what I've already tried

[@coloraoa]

Step 10: POWER FLUSH!! Use that first. It worked for me. Thanks for the video! You saved my vacation! :)

[@nb7322]

all the hard work that i've done, searching the right way to fix this, doing all the installing, updating the driver, tweaking the registry and stuff, literally spending the last 2 hours with stress and anxiety, and the problem was fixed with just holding the power button for 15 seconds 😂😂.

I had this error and tried everything to fix it. I did all the steps from the video and more but nothing helped. Then, after a few days when I was going to bring my laptop to the service centre suddenly the wi-fi driver started to work again. And I did absolutely nothing. I have no idea what caused this error and what happened to fix it, but for some reason I've decided to leave this here for you to read.

I rarely comment on videos but I was so surprised that this actually work that I just needed to say how helpful this tutorial was to figuring this out. Dude this actually worked. Specifically, the power flush. I tried so many of the relativley complicated possible solutions and all it needed was a shut down.

the restart worked , the first thing i thought of when i restarted my laptop was "i must thank this man." so i opened chrome back specifically to thank you.

Power flush is the best solution. I have a laptop and holding off power button didn't work so I opened up the back, removed the battery pin and then peformed power flush. It worked !!

[@enockmigiro325]

Sandeep, thank you so much. My laptop was acting up. I have a Dell Latitude 3301 and this was the second time I lost the WiFi Driver. I tried all the steps you have mentioned and each and every of them that wasn’t working I would move to the next one. And guess what, the main issues was the UpperFilters and LowerFilters Registry were Missing. After adding them and restarted the Laptop, I was able to see all the WiFi back again. You’re very helpful! Thank you so much!

[@irwindandb]

After a month of this ordeal CODE 10/43. I finally got the solution. Went to the local laptop repair shop, and he checked and tried to do the same disable enable and uninstall restart but to no avail. When he removed all the screws of the laptop to check the hardware he found that the receiver for the WiFi was damaged. So for just Rs.400 and just half an hour, he solved my months-old problem. So for those that haven't been able to find a solution, try the EXPERTS too.
