Residing in a senior living community, where the Wi-Fi is 'free', we survive at 25Mbps....

Just FYI - I have a Windows desktop that never moves and has only one Wi-Fi connection point. I found that having Roaming Aggressiveness set to Medium or default often caused failures to connect (like it was searching for non-existent connection points?). My Roaming Aggressiveness has an...

I think (hope) this problem has been resolved. I asked Copilot this question: "I am having to reset my network adapter Realtek RTL8852BE WiFi 6 802.11ax PCIe Adapter several time per day. I do it by turning my wi-fi off and back on. What might be wrong with the adapter?" Among its suggestions...

The key thing for me was to recognize that, say, ten years from now, the people who might look at these photos may have no idea who the people are, what the photo is about, etc. I did this project several years ago and went to the trouble to add metadata to the digital photos telling who...

Thanks for this. However, The network adapter properties does not have a power management setting tab, i.e. no 'let the system turn this device off to save power' box to untick. (Possibly because this is a desktop and not a laptop?)

Thank you, and yes I did change to static addressing 1.1.1.1, etc. But the problem persists. Works fine for a while after a restart, but stops connecting after an hour or so.

Have not spoken to neighbors. The reason is that I have an iPad which uses the same Wi-Fi connection and does not display these connection problems. I can be having a problem with a site not connecting on my Windows 11 desktop and have the exact same website open on the iPad with no problems...

This is still a problem. I have changed the Wi-Fi DNS servers to 1.1.1.1 but still have these interruptions. What I have been doing lately is to turn off the Wi-Fi, then turn it back on; this seems to re-establish the connections. But it is a distinct pain...

I have been having a similar problem intermittently: https://www.elevenforum.com/t/intermittent-inability-to-connect-to-websites.39524/#post-644058 Sometimes, this works: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/fix-wi-fi-connection-issues-in-windows-9424a1f7-6a3b-65a6-4d78-7f07eee84d2c...

Thanks. I have now disconnected the ethernet (wired) adapter in Settings per your suggestion. I do not have access to the router, as it is installed by the building Wi-Fi provider. Also, have not thought the router is a problem since those site connect ok on my iPad which uses the same router...

I have done the above commands, but the problem persists. I didn't think it was a issue with my ISP because my iPad does not have this problem and uses the same router and ISP in Wi-Fi mode.

Have been seeing problems connecting to various websites. It comes and goes. Can fix temporarily by restarting, but that can be awkward. Not all sites will fail at same time. Do not see this problem on my iPad. Sometimes the problem fixes itself; sites stop connecting, then later will connect...

I asked Copilot the following question: "will u.s. banks continue paying vendors from expired credit cards?" It's answer: ---------------------------------------------------------------- "Yes, U.S. banks can—and often do—continue paying vendors from expired credit cards, especially for...

This also happens to me. I find if I Refresh the Desktop by right clicking on it, the minimized windows will open up directly from the taskbar. Until the next time LOL.

Just FYI - I have and use OneDrive. From time to time, the checkmarks on the desktop icons do change (randomly) from solid green to one of the other types mentioned above. To get things back to normal, I right click on the desktop and click Refresh. They then change back to the solid green...
