    Anyone got any ideas to make w10 enable wifi when rebooting into safemode,needs a manual connect again to get wifi,
    and a remote comp has to be on ethernet cable to reboot into safemode from teamviewer also or it won't connect again.
    All mentioned above works on w7.

    thanks

    Are you booting into safemode with networking? I have 1 internal and 2 separate wifi dongles I have tested, their drives all work in safemode with networking. o_O

    OR is the problem that it isn't autoconnecting to the network but the radio scanning/announcing is working? Don't know what to tell you if that's the case. I don't have that problem. :tea:

    Yes but i have to connect again manually, not auto connecting on any other local or remote (teamviewer) computers.

    Try this as a startup task:
    netsh wlan connect=SSID
    If that doesn't work, I don't know.

    What a mess. I fix computers with teamviewer but never had to use it in safe mode before. I'd like a solution to this so if you find one please let us know. I think Microsoft goes out of their way sometimes to just be completely retarded.

    From teamviewer / actions / reboot into safe mode , it won't reconnect if the remote comp is on wifi, does w7, Wont 8 -10
    never did a lot on 8, safemode is handy for cleanups etc,
    i have spent heaps time trying to read / find solution, so put it here,
    MS really bugs me the same.

    Thanks

    PS,
    Local connection info,
    after booting into safe mode with NETWORKING (i like msconfig/boot/safe mode-network) from normal mode on wifi only, you notice no wifi,
    do Ctrl+Alt+Del (taskmanager screen) and click on Lock,
    from the login screen click on the bottom right corner network icon (should have a red cross),
    choose your wifi network and connect,
    that said, i have noticed some comps don't install the wifi drivers in safe mode o_O

    It is my computer and I solved it..I took the computer outside and took a 3 pound sledge and pounded it into a million pieces...seemed easier than installing Win7 in which there was NEVER any trouble..all Win10 lovers please go stand in the corner until I tell you........yeeeesh

    rebooting into safe mode from a local comp you have wifi connect auto ?
    rebooting a remote comp from team viewer into safe mode you have it connect / login again when on wifi only ?

    I was working on a friend's computer once and it had a bad ethernet card. He asked me if I was sure it was bad, so I took it outside (we were at an automotive repair shop) and I smashed it on the concrete with a small sledge hammer. I said yeah, I'm pretty sure it's bad.
