After Windows 10 upgrade, There's no Wifi Hotspot Connection

[dusabrive]

I just upgraded to Windows 10,  but I can no longer connect to a Wi-Fi Hotspot.  Sometimes the Wi-fi network doesn't even appear in the list;  Other times it does appear but I receive the following message:  "You cannot connect to this network".    I tried updating the network adapter drivers but it still doesn't work.    
I took a usb adapter stick from another device I own and installed it and its software and that works,  but I really want and need to have the built in wi-fi adapter  work.  Can anyone help?

Hi Welcome to the forum! Have you tried the trouble shooter in W10? Give this groovypost tutorial a look and see if any thing there works.

Hi dusabrive
                    Update Wi-Fi Adapter Drivers for Windows 10.

The driver for the previous Windows 8.1 or 7 is not compatible with Windows 10.

Profiler.

Hi! Go to your PC manufacture and see if they have a Wi-Fi  Adapter driver update for W10!

After I tried the usb adapter stick from the other device, I connected to the internet and immediately ran windows update.  Then I checked the status of the driver.  It says it's up to date, so I removed the Netgear adapter and tried connecting with the built-in adapter but is still doesn't work.

Hi Please post make and model! Did you go to your manufacture and check for drivers? How did you check the driver. If you checked with devise manager, it will only give you windows up dates for drivers which may not be the latest updated driver for your PC

You can use a freeware program called speccy to find out your system information!

If Windows can’t find a new driver for your network adapter, visit the PC manufacturer’s website and download the latest network adapter driver from there. If your PC can't connect to the Internet, you'll need to download a driver on a different PC and save it to a USB flash drive so you can install the driver on your PC. You’ll need to know the PC manufacturer and model name or number.

The problem is resolved.   That's exactly what I did;   I went to Hp's website and downloaded the appropriate wireless adapter driver onto a flash drive and then installed it.  Many thanks to holdum 333 and profiler for your help.
