We recently bought a small form factor desktop PC for one of our staff. Unfortunately it doesn't remember the default home Wi-Fi network after a reboot.
Normally we distribute laptops to staff which they can use at home, but in this case we wanted to place a small desktop PC with someone at home. All our laptops are member of a Windows domain and so is this desktop PC. When we test with a laptop the Wi-Fi is remembered after a reboot, but when we use the Desktop PC it is not.
We've tried a bunch of things:
updating/reinstalling wireless drivers
forgetting the wifi name and adding it again
uninstalling OEM wireless tools (Intel PROset)
bare (non-OEM) Windows-10 installation
disabling device power management
add fMinimizeConnections registry key
run the window 'Network Troubleshooter'
disable Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter
turn off Windows Network Connectivity Status Indicator active tests
turn off Fast Startup feature
change the security permissions of Wlansvc directory
remove specific files from Wlansvc directory
manually create a new wireless network connection
Perform DISM and SFC scan
disable: 'Minimize the number of simultaneous connections to the Internet or a Windows Domain'
...all to no avail.
Does Windows 10 (v1903) treat Desktop PCs differently than Laptops? Can we override such behaviour using group policy perhaps? Has anyone seen similar behaviour?
