I have just upgraded to windows 10 from Windows 7. Since doing this my wifi is no longer working. Wifi is turned on but no networks are showing. Unfortunately I only have my mobile as a hot spot to use for Internet so I can not connect an ether net cable to check if it works that way.
I had a vpn installed on my windows 7 system and read that this may be to blame. I reverted back to win 7 and uninstalled it but when I reupgraded to 10 I still have the same issue. I found the following instructions for a fix.. Fortunately – there is a solution.
"Step 1 – First things first, Right-Click the newly-reinstated Start Menu and select Command Prompt (Admin) from the drop-down menu.
Step 2 – Type out the following command, then hit the Enter key
reg delete HKCRCLSID{988248f3-a1ad-49bf-9170-676cbbc36ba3} /va /f
Step 3 – Enter the below command into the Command Prompt and then triumphantly hit the Enter key
netcfg -v -u dni_dne
Step 4 – Restart the PC and then double-check your wifi settings. You should now see a revived list of all of the available networks within range."
However when I try step 1 it says "error: invalid key name. Type "reg delete /?" For usage."
Any help is greatly appreciated as I will have to revert back again if I can't get it working.
Fix No Wi-Fi Available After Windows 10 Upgrade Issue, Here's How | Redmond Pie
If what you post is exactly what you used (step 2, deleting a Windows registry key from the command line), it's not quite correct.
You may want to open regedit to find out if the key is actually present. Look in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCLSID. (I'm no Registry wizard. Be careful about what you delete.)
There's no sign of the key where you told me to look.
Does that mean that this fix is for a different issue?
I'm not very computer savvy outside of following instructions so I'm really stuck at the minute.

If the key is not present, your problem has a different cause.
Does the WiFi adapter show in Device Manager? I imagine a driver issue.
Under network adaptors I have
802.11n Wireless LAN Card
And
Realtor PCIE GBE Family Controller
This happened to me as well; all i did was run the link that says fix problems; it re started my wifi adaptor as was fine from there
I guess that the Realtek PCIE GBE controller is your regular Ethernet interface.Under network adaptors I have
802.11n Wireless LAN Card
And

The 802.11n card is WiFi. That's such a generic description that I imagine that Windows 10 hasn't installed the proper drivers for it. Unfortunately, it also doesn't enable anyone to direct you to a download for the drivers. Do you have any other information about the system? (Make, model if it's a notebook?)
