Hi Zbyszek, Thank you for your post. I agree with WINNETPRO and please try his suggestions. Meanwhile, I would like to suggest the following: 1. Disable Save Power function of the Wireless NIC. 1) Click Start, right click on Computer and choose Properties. 2) Click Device Manager. 3) Navigate to your Wireless NIC, right click on it and choose Properties. 4) Choose Power Management tab. 5) Please uncheck Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power." 6) Restart the computer and check if it works. 2. Please perform a Clean Boot to check the issue. Clean boot =================1) Click the Start Button type "msconfig" (without quotation marks) in the Search box, and then press Enter. Note: If prompted, please click Continue on the User Account Control (UAC) window. 2) Click the "Services" tab, check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" box and click "Disable All" (if it is not gray). 3) Click the "Startup" tab, click "Disable All" and click "OK". Then, restart the computer. When the "System Configuration Utility" window appears, please check the "Don't show this message or launch the System Configuration Utility when Windows starts" box and click OK. NOTE: we can go back to normal boot by running msconfig again and checking on Normal Startup in the General tab. In the Clean Boot Environment, the third party services and applications are disabled, please hibernate the computer and wake it up again to see if it works. If the problem does not occur, it indicates that the problem is related to one application or service we have disabled. You may use the MSCONFIG tool again to re-enable the disabled item one by one to find out the culprit. 3. The issue also occurred if the IE settings are corrupted. Please try to reload the IE settings to check if it can work. Reload IE settings =============1) Click Start, Run, type: "INETCPL.CPL" (without quotation marks) and press Enter. 2) Switch to the Advanced tab.3) Click the "Reset Internet Explorer Settings" button.4) Click Reset to confirm the operation.5) Click Close when the resetting process has finished.6) Uncheck the "Enable third-party browser extensions" option in the Browsing box.7) Click Apply, click OK. Hope this helps.Nicholas Li - MSFT
