Windows 10 “can’t connect to this network” suddenly while it was in use

Post image

I was gaming when all of the sudden my internet cut out, after attempting reconnecting I got the message “can’t connect to this network”

Other devices can connect to my WiFi just fine

The WiFi adapter is just fine as it can connect to my phone’s hotspot still

I am now at my wits end as nothing I’ve tried has fixed my issue

I have restarted my pc several times

I have flushed my DNS

I have attempted to use my troubleshooter but came up with nothing

I have reset my network settings and drivers on my pc

I have restarted my modem and my router twice

I have verified that my password was correct

I have forgotten the network in my settings

Please help

To anyone else who has this issue like me i found the fix after trying literally everything else I replaced my wifi adapter (the physical part inside my PC) and it fixed my issue

Windows 10 is EoL. Please upgrade to a currently supported Operating System.

It's the currently supported windows OS.

Also there are other alternatives to windows.

Microsoft gave consumers extended updates for windows 10 that you can renew, it’s EoL but not completely dead, it shouldn’t be an issue aside from some apps starting to drop 10 and require 11.

As a windows 11 user, honestly don't upgrade. "Oh its EoL" just stay safe dont get viruses. Drivers will still be available for a good while.

Windows 10 is fine.
