Windows 8 continously loses wifi connection

I cleared the connections using command prompt and netsh then reconnected granting every permission possible. This did seem to help although was more complicated than should be necessary and offers far less security than I'd like. Due to general bugs in almost everything I've tried to do on Windows 8 have taken the decision to go to Apple.

Was just going to go back to Windows 7 but this has given me the motivation to try a Mac.

I've ended up purchasing a USB wifi adapter, TP link something, to see if it wil strengthen the signal in times of need.... I give up Microsoft.

This has to be absolutely the most ridiculous issue I have encountered.  I have bought a new Toshiba laptop on friday for an employee at the office.   Started installing software and continually ran into this issue again and again, and evidently thought there was something wrong with the computer.  I ended up taking back to stock (after wasting time with Windows Updates) only to have the issue start again quite quickly.

I decided that I could not give that computer to an employee who would constantly be bugging me saying they could not work because the computer could not access the internet or even worse our own network.

Therefore I packed it back, and returned it as a defective unit to the store, and ended up buying another computer in its place (this time an HP unit), which was $500 more expensive than the Toshiba, only because it was the only one they had which seemed at least better than the Toshiba unit.

I come back in, unpack the HP, fire it up only to find that it has the exact same problem !!!!  Thanks, Microsoft, you just made me spend $500 that I did not need to spend, not to mention all the wasted time (my time) wasted trying to make the computer work, instead of actually working myself on the things that I needed to do (are you going to pay me for the 3 wasted days of MY time ??  I would guess not.

I only need to have this sort of thing happen ever so often to give me a reminder of why an Apple computer that costs 3 times as much as a PC is actually much less expensive than a PC.  If I factor in the wasted time that I have put into this, the sleep depravation trying once and again to make it work, and the level of frustration involved, then the Apple is definitely way cheaper.

If only the employee would be willing to learn to use a Mac, then I would be ok, but until that happens I will have no option but to keep putting up with this kind of ridiculousness.

Microsoft, where do I send you the bill ????

Why have Microsoft consistently failed to admit they have a huge problem with Windows 8 losing internet connectivity? This bollocks about the issue lying elsewhere is so annoying............ You run their troubleshooter application and it resolves the issue in the Windows 8 software. BUG fix it now!!!!!

Hi everyone. I bought a new laptop around 9 months ago. Everything was fine for a few weeks, then this problem started. Everything is up-dated, all help on here has been followed, and our company tech has tried to find a solution. NOTHING HAS WORKED!!!!!

I have taken my computer back to factory settings, and refused all up-dates, except security ones, since then. It seems to be much better than it was, and can keep a connection for a few hours at least, and sometimes it will work for days without going to "limited".

It is obviously a problem which occurs after an update from Windows, and no doubt it will miraculously sort itself after another update in the future. Our company tech has been running one of his computers, wit Win 8 installed, totally on wifi since I told him of the problem, and he has had no disconnections or "limited" moments. The only difference between myself and him is that he is a Beta tester for Windows. I find this very strange, but obviously Windows do not want one of their testers reporting problems with Win 8. Maybe he gets different updates to us normal mortals?????
