At work we have just reveived a new laptop for industrial (PLC) programing use. We want to use virtual box to separate all the programing environments from each other.
After installing virtualbox and doing a shut down the wifi adapter no longer connects. You can scan for networks however as soon as the network is selected the wifi goes back to disconnected. Wired connection works fine When Virtual box is uninstalled everything is back to normal. We tried installing using administrator settings but there was no change.
Any suggestions?

Re: Virtual box Kills wifi on windows 10
Is this a USB WiFi adapter? I don't think that this is something that affects a lot of people, if any. So, what is so special about your setup? And please think in terms of all the software that you might have installed on that computer...

The affected networ adapter is the built in wifi card.
The Laptop has a few things installed but none affect the wifi connectivity.
Immediately after virtualbox is uninstalled the wifi card returns to proper function.
We reinstalled virtualbox with admin mode and after a power cycle the wifi stopped working again.
I am sure this is something uncommon but we are at a loss as far as what it could be.

Re: Virtual box Kills wifi on windows 10
I didn't say anything about the WiFi card, on purpose. What are the "a few things"? Do they include antivirus, system protection, software monitoring, enterprise templates, group policy enforcers? Anything else?guimmer wrote:The Laptop has a few things installed but none affect the wifi connectivity.
BTW, the admin-mode that you describe, I'll assume that it means that you right-clicked on the installer, "Run-as-Administrator", even if you are the administrator. If you didn't do that, please do. You do not have to run VirtualBox as administrator, just to install it.

We found that Eset is installed and I heard that it does not play well with VirtualBox
We will request that it is removed and see how it goes from there
