Small rant. Forgive me please.

Why in this 21st Century do I get a response like this when trying to connect to my home network using my known password?
Why is Windows still this crap?
Of course no information on why it doesn't connect.

The password is correct.

I assume this is a WIFI network. Reasons could be WPA3 encryption on the WIFI. Protected management frames (PMF) on the WIFI. Your router picked a WIFI channel your PC doesn't support (although I doubt this one).
Did your router update firmware yesterday/today ?
Could someone (sibling) be spoofing your WIFI to prank your?
Could your WIFI password have been changed by someone else ?

very other device is fine.
Other computers, Kindle Fires, phones
My beef is that Windows, in this era, doesn't indicate the issue.
Windows works well with wireless networks and the issue you are experiencing is uncommon.

Assuming you have compatible hardware/drivers, etc. This shouldn't be a problem.

Tell us more about the Windows device itself. Is it a desktop PC? Laptop? What is the make/model of the wireless adapter?

And I will add the suggestion that in the case of being a PC or laptop to add just a bit more information:

Make and modem information for modem and router (or modem/router if combined).

Run "ipconfig /all" (without quotes) via the Command Prompt.

Copy and paste the results here.
