For the last few months I have had intermittant trouble connecting to the internet with my HP laptop. It disconnects a lot even though other devices in my household are connected. Yesterday there was a prolonged update to Windows 10. When I went to connect this morning, the internet icon was gone and there was no way I could connect with the HP (my chromebook works, as does my streaming TV service). I tried for about 4 hours, even restarting the computer several times. I finally restored the computer to a time before the update and, VOILA, the internet works!

I am following up on my previous post about why my wifi won't work. I tried all the recommended solutions in this column but nothing was permanent or just plain did not work. I even restored my computer to the original factory specs (big mistake). After much frustration, I realized that something in my computer was broken so I took the suggestion to order a tiny, plug-in USB Wifi Adapter from Amazon ($9.00). I received it yesterday, installed it and the wifi has worked ever since. Good luck to all who are having this same issue.
