Hello,

1. Ever since upgrading to 8.1 Windows will not save my SSID and password so whenever I restart the PC or just upon boot up I always have to find my SSID and enter the password again. It is also worth mentioning that 'Right Click' isn't working in the bar where you select your SSID. Below are some things I have done to no avail:


  • Stopped Windows from Powering Off the Adapter
    Tried to delete current profiles through CMD but turned out I had no profiles whatsoever
    Tried to update driver but already latest version

I also tried something else involving going onto Services.msc then deleting whatever was in my profile, also, to no avail.

2. Secondly, no settings/ changes I make to my taskbar saves - so after rebooting it is all gone - this includes icons I've hidden and where I've moved certain items. (I am mentioning this in case it is linked to the WI-Fi problem)

Can someone pleaaaaaaaaaaase help me?

Why not perform a system restore or refresh your system?

System Restore


  • Place your curser the right edge of the screen, and then click Search.

    Enter Control Panel in the search box, and click Control Panel.

    Enter Recovery in the Control Panel search box, and then click Recovery.

    Click Open System Restore, and then follow the instructions on the screen.

Refresh PC

To refresh your PC


  • Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Change PC settings.
    (If you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, click Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)

    Tap or click Update and recovery, and then tap or click Recovery.

    Under Refresh your PC without affecting your files, tap or click Get started.

    Follow the instructions on the screen.

Hello dude,

Thank you very much for replying but I can't do system restore as the problem only began when I upgraded to Windows 8.1. It wasn't there on Windows 8.

:(

Restore it back to Windows 8 and then upgrade it back to Windows 8.1. There must be a corrupted file during the previous installation of the 8.1 which is causing this problem. Do report back after trying.
