![]() While I agree that Windows has for a long time had problems with going in and out of sleep/wake cycles, it would simply be unacceptable for me to tell the user he must shut down his computer every time he wants to stop using it. lol That's horrible in a corporate environment where they constantly switch between networks. But, seriously.tell them to stop just shutting the lid. You might need to play around with it a little bit. Although, that could have consequences of its own if they have a short lockout timer and they unlock the machine frequently. ![]() I'm not sure if unlocking the machine throws an event in Event Viewer, but that would probably be the best way to go. If they absolutely MUST shut the lid without logging off, perhaps going to the task scheduler and having the Wireless/WLAN Zero Configuration service restart based on a certain trigger. Like, "what to do when the lid shuts," for example. If it works fine that way, it may very well have to do with the bootcamp drivers not allowing Windows 7 to configure certain settings. They don't get their group policies updated, anything they were connected to from home causes issues at work(mostly with printers), and all sorts of other issues. That is the number one reason for most of my tickets involving laptops here. While it "should" work the way the user is doing it, what happens if they don't just shut the lid, but actually log off/shut down/restart, then log on when they get to work? I highly encourage users here constantly to never just shut the lid and log on through the lock screen. I can't find a later version of the wifi card driver (ideally I would love to find one independent of the Boot Camp drivers, just to have something to test against.)ĭoes anyone have ideas for me? Thanks in advance! I've gone through all the advanced settings for the wifi card, and everything looks right there I have deleted and reinstalled the wifi card in device manager. He states that this issue's been going on for the last couple of months. When he does this, our Office network immediately shows up and automatically connects. Our office network's SSID doesn't even show up for him unless he clicks the "Disconnect" button. He then closes the lid on his the machine, brings it to the office, opens it up, and the wifi driver in the notification area tells him he's still connected to Netgear. For example, if he uses his laptop at home, he connected to an SSID called Netgear. Here's the issue: When the user changes locations, wifi remains connected to the most recent SSID he was connected to. He's on the appropriate set of drivers for Boot Camp for his machine, ending in. I can confirm that Windows 7 is fully up to date, and last week I booted into the Mac OS to pull down the latest firmware upgrades and 10.10.2, just for good measure. So to be clear, the user is not booting into the Mac OS at all, but rather straight into Windows. With a couple exceptions, it worked great for him for the first several months (I notice, for example, that "disable upon wired connect" doesn't work properly for the Broadcom AC wifi adapter.when a wired connection is available, it constantly disabled and enables, over and over, but that's not a huge deal.) He wanted the form factor of the Air but has historically had a terrible time with the Mac OS, so I installed Win7 for him. I have a user with a late 2013 model Macbook Air, running Boot Camp and Windows 7 Pro. To do this, head to the Startup Disk preference setting in Settings.Įvery time the Mac starts, you can also toggle between OS X and Windows by holding down the Option (Alt) key immediately upon startup.Here's a puzzle. Once you have Windows installed, you can set the default OS that will start each time you boot your Mac. Set the Default Startup OS or Toggle Between OS X and Windows ![]() The Mac will need to restart to complete the process and will automatically boot into Windows 10 when it's done. Follow the prompts to finish installing Windows.
