Windows 10 doesn't to let me use my wifi.
*sighs*

No way to solve it.
Is this a new Windows feature?

    @CozyPlanes Yes, but I'm rarely at home. Good thing is I barely use Windows, it's there for gaming, so not as much of a problem.

    @drRoss So that's the weird part. The device is there, Windows says it's updated, Bluetooth works, but the wifi doesn't.
    I did just about anything, I know it's a bug but it's weird it almost looks like a feature. Everything works but wifi for no aparent reason. Troubleshooting gives me an unknown error.

    @grublle use elementary os then.
    It is free and open source!

    Do this... Settings>Network & internet> select Network Reset link from bottom of the page and then reset now.

    Let system automatic restart. Do not restart manually if it asked you the same. It will take your 10 minutes max.

    May be you can use your wifi after.

    If you have a laptop then it's possibly turning your wifi off because of the power saving settings

    Does your laptop have a WiFi switch? That's fucked me in the past.

    So, it works now but I'm not quite sure why.
    It may have been what @drRoss suggested or I had to uninstall the driver with the Dell driver installer and not windows. Anyway, it works.

    I should've probably tried to install windows with a ethernet connection.

    Absolutely! Because no one was using the "Paid WiFi" app, they removed free wifi.

    True story.
