Wifi wont turn on.

[Creepynazgul]

A few days ago I accidentally hit the Wifi key on my laptop when I meant to hit the prt sc key. This, of course, turned the wifi off. I tried pressing the key again but it doesn't work, all it does is turn on/off airplane mode. I tried searching other places but couldn't find anything. My computer is a HP ENVY m6 with windows 8.

Go to settings, PC settings, wireless. For some reason the alternating between the two stop work but the airplane mode continues to work.

Code 52: Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device

Solved. LISTEN

My airplane mode would not turn off. Stayed orange.

I have an Hp 2000 Notebook PC
My situations began after windows download updates for windows 8.0 on March 10th 2015.
After checking several things I found that the diver did not have the correct signature.
I was able to correct the problem after dealing with the driver error only.

1 Go to control panel.
2. Then device manager.
3. Click Net work adaptor.
4. Click Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 802. 11b/g/n WiFi Adaptor.
5. Choose driver tab.
5. Choose update drive.
6. Choose browse my computer for driver software.
7. Choose let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
8. Select the original/pervious WiFi Adaptor before the airplane mode lighted stayed orange.

In my case, my problem was the adaptor with the forward slashes“11b/g/n” that “Windows couldn’t verify the digital signature for drivers”. See example below.

Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 802. 11b/g/n WiFi Adaptor
Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 802. 11b|g|n WiFi Adaptor

After selecting the original driver WiFi Adaptor with the slashes or | mark“11b|g|n”. I instantly had WiFi connections and was able to key in my password. So now I you provide this solution. No need to reboot.
This will work.

Airplane Mode, when enabled, disables all wireless communications in your system. The Microsoft Support page What’s airplane mode? addresses the new Windows 8 feature. You can also enable and disable specific wireless adapters per the instructions on that page, regardless of the status of Airplane Mode. You can enable and disable a specific adapter from the Settings option in the Charms bar, under Change PC Settings and the Wireless item in the left menu.

Thanx alot it actually worked.

Daily helper here helping another dude and the solution is drumroll please dududududududududu hold fn and f2 at the same time

Unfortunately I didn't listen to you last night...I was thinking...it can't be that easy. So I brought my laptop to work and had my IT guy look at it & he told me the EXACT same thing...wow!

Fn & F2 people.... simple!

 

[Z3tec77]

Go to hardware devices and open the drop down tab on network adaptor, right click on the wireless device and select properties. Click the power management tab and uncheck "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" wifi should enable automatically.

Hope this helps.

I've had this problem too. I went to control panel (click files >desktop >control panel) and clicked view network status and tasks, clicked change adapter settings, then double clicked Wi-Fi. This should let you join wifi connections
