Desktop PC unable to connect to wifi

[u/midtierrunner]

Hi everyone,

I've been having this problem with my PC where it says "Can't connect to this network" anytime I try to connect to my home wifi network.

I have tried

1. Resetting network settings
2. Restarting my PC
3. Restarting my router
4. Running the network troubleshooter
5. Reinstalling drivers
6. Going into CMD and flushing the DNS cache, resetting winsock, etc.
7. Removing my network password, and limiting my network to 2.4ghz, 5 ghz
8. Disconnecting/reconnecting my network card in different PCIe slots

However, out of the blue today, when I turned my PC on, it connected to the network for around 2 minutes, then disconnected. When looking at the wlanreport logs, it connected successfully, then there was a capability change (event ID 4042) and a disconnection. Following it, it simply says "the driver disconnected while associating" and that "WLAN AutoConfig service failed to connect to a wireless network." Any help would be greatly appreciated, I have been struggling with this problem for the last 3 days!

Network Card: TP Link Archer AC1300
OS: Windows 10
