Good day! I recently bought my HP and it came with win 8-1 after installing win 10 I cannot connect with my wi-fi but my neighbors wi-fi's shows in settings! I've re-installed windows 10 several times but no luck! I've uninstalled network adapters and re-installing driver, and restarting also several times with no luck. Please help!
Solved! Go to Solution.

Try few steps mentioned below.

A temp folder window would pop up.
Here you have to delete all the files/folders that present in this temp folder.
Now, disconnect the internet connection.
Restart your PC and connect to your network again.
If you still have the wireless issue disable firewall and disable antivirus and check again.

Hi MrRobot
Thank you so much for responding to my question and giving it the time to answer!!
After following these solutions, my connection still faled to connect. I googled Ralink RT3290 802.11bgn Wi-Fi Adapter and came across this from HP's forums: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Wireless-and-Networking/Ralink-RT3290-802-11bgn-Wi-Fi-Adapter-... The driver, that Paul_Tikkanen gave solved my issue!
I truly appreciate your time you gave to answer me!!
Have a lovely day/night!
Here is the latest link to the driver from Mediatek...
