Hi,

1. Did you set up any network password earlier?

To work with the issue, refer these methods.

Method 1:

Run the troubleshooter from the following link.

Method 2:

Note: Make sure you enable the antivirus software, other security programs and firewall after the test.
 
Warning:
Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it to install other software, you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
 
Method 3:
 
Check if the issue persists in safe mode with Networking.
 
Start your computer in safe mode with Networking.

NOTE: refer 3 from the above link, Advanced startup options (including safe mode).

Select Safe Mode With Networking.
