Unable to turn wireless on

[alaskared]

Calling on forum Techs for help. Last night, my wireless turned off on my back-up pc, Product version is above. When I attempted to turn wireless back on, by accessing networks available, dialogue box came up above wireless symbol on toolbar,showing no networks being available, requesting manual turn on of wireless, in 1 hour, 1 day, or 1 week.Pull up my primary pc, internet connections fine, so problem is either in version of windows, or pc. Am currently doing a system rest on backup pc, to see if windows version is the problem.

   My question is, how do I bypass the manual rest option, so I can reconnect to the wireless? Is it the card, or is there a trick techs can pass on to me.

Looked at additional tips from another post on same issue, troubleshooting described a standalone button with wireless symbol above or near the keyboard. On my HP version, again, HP Pavilion M6-1035dx notebook, couldnt locate such a button.

Welcome to HP Support Forums. A really great platform for posting all your questions and finding solutions.

I see that you are having issues turning on the wireless on your HP Pavilion m6-1035

I'd like to help.

The Wireless Button might be on the F12 Key. Try hitting the F12 or Fn + F12 to turn On / Off the wireless.

I suggest to go to Device Manager and update the wireless driver

- In Windows, search for and open Device Manager.
- In the list of devices, look for Network Adapters
- Right-click the  Wireless driver and select Update Driver Software.
- Click Search automatically for updated driver software.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to install the updated driver.
- Restart your computer to complete the installation of the updates.

If the issue persists, please try a System Restore to an earlier time before the issue started

- Select the Start button, type control panel and then choose it from the list of results.
- Search Control Panel for Recovery.
- Select Recovery > Open System Restore > Next.
- Choose the restore point related to the problematic app, driver, or update, and then select Next > Finish.
