I wasn&#8217;t the only one reporting this issue. There were a lot of people around the world running into the same issue and the culprit turned out to be Cisco VPN client.<\/p>\n<p>Today I saw a Knowledge Base (KB) article from Microsoft confirming that it is a known problem in\u00a0Windows 10. The article is called <a href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/kb\/3084164\" target=\"_blank\">No wireless networks are available after you upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10<\/a>. According to Microsoft, the connections are affected through both the built-in Ethernet network\u00a0adapter and the USB Ethernet adapter. The KB article states that it is listing the known <strong>issues<\/strong> (plural) and the appropriate <strong>resolutions<\/strong> (plural) but then goes on to list only ISSUE #1 with only one resolution. By the way, the issue seems to be related to\u00a0 older versions of the Cisco VPN client and SonicWall Global VPN client. Here&#8217;s the solution from Microsoft.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h4 class=\"sbody-h4\">Symptoms<\/h4>\n<p>Unsupported VPN software is present during the upgrade to Windows 10.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"sbody-h4\">Cause<\/h4>\n<p>This issue may occur if older VPN software is installed on Windows 8.1 and is present during the upgrade to Windows 10.
