Hi,
For the past few days my laptop takes few minutes to connect to wifi. My partner have exactly the same laptop and doesn´t have that problem. Even after sleep I have to wait few minutes for it to wake up and connect. I´ve tried to update my drivers but that didn´t help.
Thanks

@Ferush Due to the current global COVID-19 situation, we're seeing an influx of customers coming in for support and we appreciate your patience.
That said, here's a few things you need to do, to resolve this issue once and for all:
- Disable all firewalls and antivirus programs including windows ten's own firewalls and antivirus programs.
- try safe mode with networking to check if the Internet connection is fast there. Try both wired and wireless options.
- Link for safe mode with networking is given in my earlier post. Please try that.
- Uninstall the existing network adapters and update the bios chipset and network adapters (both wired and wireless) from this link : click here to find and install the same
- Please try to change the router's broadcasting channel to another value. try different working channels. that might help for WiFi only.
