Windows 10 Connection Issue

[Scrumptious]

A few days ago I had a problem connecting to my VPN and as a last resort I reset my Windows 10 PC,what happened then was the PC I reset it and after that the PC would not connect to the WiFi also it would not recognise the Keyboard or the Mouse,so connected an old Vista PC and that was ok,so thinking the Windows 10 PC was broken I ordered a Windows 11 PC but that had the same problems as my Windows 10 PC,I'm just hoping someone on this Forum can help me,Thank you

Have you tried resetting your router? Since you have experienced the problem with multiple systems,that would be the next logical step. I take it if the network cables are in good order as well.

Lately, meaning it may have been since the last update, Surf Shark has been making a mess of initial wireless connections on one of my laptops, it took forever if at all. It's not even loaded at this point mind you. I finally gave up and uninstalled it (with Revo), now I get instantaneous connections. No doubt it's one of the protocols needed to make Surf Shark functions and perhaps forcing my Torrent program to only connect though it may have made things worse, even though neither one is in my startup programs list.

In driver manager, delete the drivers in question. Then uninstall Surfshark rebook the computer let it sit for 10 minutes then go check in driver manager check if it re-installed the drivers you deleted, if not in driver manager refresh / scan for new devices, once they install re-install Surfshark and it should be fine.

An uninstall with Revo and a fresh install fixes things back up. I suspect it’s a matter of installing updates. I have qbittorrent dependent on SurfShark or it won’t go on the Internet, a smart thing to do. It’s still one heck of a lot better than TorGuard. I’ll probably give Proton a shot when my contract with SurfShark is up. I have had an email address with them for years and having worked for a Swedish company now, they go take things seriously. SurfShark seems to be trying too hard lately.
Honestly they all lease space at the same POPs, so it boils down to price, customer service and their software client. There’s always a rumble that anti piracy groups will squeeze a provider in court in order to obtain logs, that’s why I try and stay away from the largest providers.
