On a clean install of Windows 10 Pro on an HP Pavilion 17 (about 2 years old) with all drivers up to date, I have nothing but problems when connecting this laptop to my brand spanking new D-Link AC3200 with the latest firmware installed (previous firmware also a problem).
The Windows 10 laptop sees the router just find but it will connect only after rebooting the router. I have the laptop firewalls all disabled, rebooting the laptop, turning off the adapter and restarting, none of that works unless I reboot the router.
I would back date this laptop to Windows 7 but finding drivers for it is proving a little difficult...
A friend with Windows 8.1 on her laptop has the same problem on my router.
Meanwhile, my 10 year old, Dell Latitude E6510 with Windows 7 Pro installed has absolutely no problems connecting to any router any time. Any smart phone and my Linux laptop also connect with no problems.
From all that I have read, there are constant connection problems with Windows 8/8.1/10. It is a pain to have to reboot my router every time one of these OS's needs to connect.
Why do Windows 7 and earlier versions connect and these newer versions don't?
Any suggestions?
