WiFi Does Not Reconnect After Login / Sleep / Reboot
Nov 19, 2011
Wi-Fi does not reconnect after login / sleep / reboot. It always prompts me for the password. In "Manage Wireless Networks", it is set to "Automatically Connect". But somehow Windows "forgets" the password.
if my Win 7 computer is on and connected to the router (wired), then neither my Toshiba laptop (also running Win 7) nor an iPod will reconnect after sleep.
After reading through this forum, I tried disabling the Homegroup on both Win 7 computers. Even tried disabling the IPv6 on the network adapters.
I've also made sure power remains on to the wireless adapter even when computer is asleep. And updated all my drivers, etc. turning off the wired Win 7 computer. The laptop is also showing a Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter #3.
My Problem is: Every time I turn on my laptop I have to uninstall and then re-install my WiFi drivers to connect to any network. It works fine after I uninstall the driver through Device Manager and Re-install it. I can connect to most networks fine...
I can't log in when the wifi is on (laptop) and when I do log in (wifi off) I can connect to the router but I can't see the m: drive on the network. This is following a spyware contamination and a system restore, I've tried resetting the credential manager (services and registry) but still not working
when I was playing a game and it crashed on a loading screen, I then could only boot into windows extremely slowly so I knew something was wrong. Since then I have booted into safe mode and done a virus check and it found nothing, I had then done a start up repair multiple times and for one reason or another the system would then reboot just as the login screen is loading. I have recently de fragmented the drive externally and run a slow disk check which found nothing. I've launched start up repair again which says it's unable to fix the problem and I can't boot into safe mode because it'll reboot. I should also mention I was having problems with the drive a few weeks ago where I was getting different error messages before booting but I managed to sort that out. If a solution can't be found it would be safe to say the drive is failing. Here is the bsod when I disabled automatic rebooting along with the startup repair error.
How to reboot Windows 7 remotely from RDP Login Screen?
If I RDP to a system older than Windows 7 OS, the CTRL-ALT-END works on the RDP log in screen to bring up the Windows Security window to reboot. But it doesn't work for Windows 7 system! I have a Windows 7 Ultimate system that I need to restart remotely from the RDP login screen but I just can't.
Hay strange things going on here, reinstalled win 7 and left my power settings on the installed presets went for a beer and hey presto i can not reawake my pc,, no boot or any thing evey thing was fine before going into sleep mode..
When attempting to wake up my wife's PC from sleep, the computer will hang for a few seconds at a black screen and then reboot. This is followed by the standard Windows has not shut down properly message asking if I want to launch into safe mode. This has been happening the past few weeks. It's Windows 7 64-bit. I've attached the results of the SF Diagnostic tool.
Stuff I've tried:
- Turning off hybrid sleep
- Uninstalling and reinstalling the Realtek USB WiFi adapter (network adapter problems came up on some google searches)
I'm having my acer notebook model aspire 5736z and I nticed that when I put it to sleep mode and then run my notebook again hiting ENTER key it reboots It's very frustrating,and I don't think it's normal. How can I fix it,to get it back to desktop again? I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate with SP1.
It freezes everytime i put it into sleep mode, and also when i reboot it. In sleep mode, the monitor turns off, but the computer continues to run (fans and lights are still on). I at first thought it was a PSU issue, but then it started to hang during games and it also freezes while booting the computer. The first time it froze mid-bios, then it froze a couple of times after the bios (when loading an OS), and it is now frozen on the windows boot screen (The logo and "Starting Windows").
I've been trying to find a way for the follwoing to happen;My mum and dad have a static caravan and have paid for the sites wifi for the year, which works fine. When you open a browser it autoredirects you to a login page which needs your username and password.This is fine for their laptop but they have a Media Centre which I would like to have a internet connection at boot up at least to chekc for updates/tv guide etc. The only way this can happen is if they get the keyboard and mouse out, drop MediaCentre, open IE and login in. Obviously this isn't going to happen, at least not often.So is it possible to get a script that;1, Run's at start up or as a task that somehow logs you onto the internet automatically?
My wifi turns off when my computer goes into the sleep mode. I have to hit F8-- turn it off and then turn it back on again. How do I get it to stay on all the time?
I had my laptop for about 5 months running OEM Win 7 home premium 32bit. The system came with no disks so I am stuck, for now, with the copy loaded. Anyway, things had been running smoothly up to a few weeks ago, for when I tried to put my system into hibernate, like I've done many times before, the screen went black, but the system did not power-down. I could not do anything but power-cycle it. When it came back I got the "Windows failed to shutdown properly blah blah blah" message. I tried 'sleep' and the same thing happened. I don't do much in the way of adding or removing programs on this laptop, aside from updates and the only recent hardware change was using a usb mouse. Which I have tried removing this and there was no change. I have tried updating drivers that needed it (video, audio, and network) as well as the BIOS. No luck.
Dual Monitors reset when Screensaver/sleep/reboot/hibernate & Returning to single monitor cause a hissy fit tantrum by win 7
I have a problem with Windows 7 and my dual monitors setup. I have 2 SyncMaster 245T monitors, connected via DVI cable to a NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GTX card. I have downloaded the latest drivers from Nvidia for the card, but I am experiencing a fairly regular issue with regards to running Dual monitor setup.
When ever the system goes in to sleep/hivernation mode for more than a few minutes, upon restarting, the second monitor is no longer on. I have to physically go into settings and extend my monitor again. Simply rebooting the computer reboots it back up on only the one monitor. I have noticed twice now that this also has occurred when the computer went into screen saver mode too.
Additionally a freakish thing I found happens when I was trying to isolate the trigger of this problem is that, when I turn off the power to the 2 monitor (Not mains, just the switch on the second monitor. So mains power is still supplied) windows 7 has a major hissy fit.
It repeatedly sound the audio cue for disconnecting hardware, while the one monitor left on, constantly flickers, in what seams an attempt to return to one monitor. Only returning the monitor back on would stop the unsuccessfully attempt to return to the one monitor.
I have tried to look for anyone else with similar problems on the net, and apologize if a similar problem has already been posted here, but my search revealed nothing. I was wondering if anyone knew of a fix, or has had similar issue that they resolved.
When my PC goes into sleep mode (typically while not logged in), I am asked for my password, I enter it, I briefly get the bright blue screen saying Welcome - and then boom, back to the login screen and I have to enter my password again. And I don't think it's a matter of first login wakes me from sleep; second gets me to my desktop.I've started just pressing enter on the password screen the first time, which of course tells me that there's a password error.Then I'll enter my password and I'm in - after just one successful password entry.If it's some kind of bios-specific thing, my MB is a Gigabyte, with the specifics shown in my HW profile.Why is Windows 7 asking me to enter my password twice to get to my desktop from sleep mode?
I have Windows 7 on a Dell Inspiron 1545. Most of the time when I put my laptop to sleep and restart it Wifi network connectivity is lost and I have to click the 'Wifi Signal' icon in the system taskbar and click on my network name and click connect to regain connectivity. I have gone to 'Power Management' tab and cleared 'Allow Windows to turn off this device to save power' option as suggested by most posts but it has done nothing to help me. But sometimes even after a long sleep the laptop immediately connects back to the network and sometimes even if I just close the lid and open it after a few seconds network connectivity is lost.
My adapter is always gone from resuming from sleep. I know it was working before. Just changed my ram and bios settings from a fresh build. Went from Corsair xms3 to G.Skill Ripjaws.
I am having this same issue with my newly built pc. The drive running Windows 7 is from a laptop where the mobo died. I am using it in AHCI mode because my case has a front hot swap caddy.
I have a Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3 mobo and after installing and uninstalling drivers, software, changing settings, removing ram, changing power options to maximum power for pci card and wifi, turning off hibernate, restarted, rebooted, updated all drivers from Gigabyte, chipset drivers, etc. I have unchecked "allow Windows to turn off this device". Restarted and tested and I get the same issue. I have unchecked this box in all of my networking devices too including, 802.11n Wireless Lan Card #2 and Microsoft Virtual Wifi Miniport Adapter. Also, uninstalled and reinstalled these and updated drivers from my disc that came from Gigabyte as well as driver update from the Gigabyte website.
Nothing I do will turn on my wifi card after sleep. Windows will not see a network adapter. Everything works fine after restarting though. I have S3 enabled in bios as that is what I want. I have case fans that I don't want to hear with no option to turn them off. Otherwise, i'd be fine with S1.
Is this just not a working feature? I've read that sleep is an ongoing issue with Windows, but my pc sleeps fine. I just want to be able to put my pc to S3 sleep and resume with a working wifi card. There must be a key setting i'm missing because i'm sure it was working with my last set of ram.
I have the TP-Link USB Wireless adapeter (TL-WN722N) It always reconnects after sleep mode or I have to do it manually and it takes a long time to reconnects all the time?
***DO NOT say to uncheck " Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" option! This DOES NOT work for me and it has no effect whatsoever!***
I cannot log in after recovering from sleep mode. I receive an 'Incorrect username or password error'. I confirmed I am using the correct username and password (CAPS is off). I found I am able to log in after selecting 'switch user' and then attempting to log in again, so I believe Windows is getting confused. The PC is on a domain so I cannot turn off the option for it to prompt for a password, and I do not wish to turn off the option for sleep mode in order to save power.
Machine: Dell XPS17 laptop (702x)Windows 7 home premiumWifi adaptor: Intel Wifi Link 1000 BGNRouter: Belkin F5D7634-4 802.11GReconnection takes 3 or more minutes to establish after sleep. Tried all the on-line advice e.g setting power scheme to max power; unticking box in adaptor settings 'Allow computer to turn off this device'.Tried to update drivers for wifi adaptor but the update process says I have the latest drivers. However Dell's driver site analysed my laptop and says there is a later driver for download. Tried installing this but was stopped by message saying it wasn't authenticated/certified so terminated.
Since doing a clean install of Windows 7 my internet keeps timing out. The icon in the task bar shows that it's normal, but I'll be online and after a couple minutes the internet just stops. When I click on the icon it says "connected" and "internet access."I have tried on both a Netgear and Apple router, so it's not a router issue. I reset the modem and routers a dozen times. I called my ISP and they said everything looks normal. My Droid phone works fine and so does a Macbook in the house.I have rolled back my Atheros5007 wireless card driver, which did nothing. And then tried upgrading the latest version, which did nothing. Uninstalled the driver then reinstalled, still with no luck.I was running Windows 7 fine all year and did the clean install as something I do every year to keep my computer running well.

I have to restart or even shutdown and restart my computer sometimes multiple times before it will recognize the drives.
In preparing for install of SSD I used 'Properties>Location' to relocate user library folders from the system HDD to a different HDD. After I do a clean install of Win 7 Pro to the SSD, how do I reconnect the relocated folders?
This topic was posted in Dec without a fix. I have 2 Toshiba Satellite laptops with a Realtek wireless adapter running Windows 7 64 bit. Just started having the problem about a month ago with both laptops. The adapter is disable when lid is closed. I want the computer to go to Sleep when not in use, but the adapter will not reconnect when the lid is raised and I log back in. I must manually disable and then enable the adapter (in Admin mode) to re-connect to the wireless network or reboot the computer. The computer is plugged into the power adapter. Power options are set to maximum performance. I checked all the power settings, adapter properties to automatically connect, and WLAN is the service running in automatic mode. Microsoft Answers has no answer to the problem either.
