Resolving Windows 10 Wi-Fi Connectivity Problem

I performed a clean installation of MS Windows 10 (64-bit) on a Dell Inspiron machine and lost Wi-Fi connectivity. The card was a Broadcom 802.11n.


I resolved the problem by uninstalling all the protocols that had been installed, such as "Client for Microsoft Networks" and keeping only the IPV4 and IPV6 protocols.  (In fact, the option to uninstall them was not available, it was grayed out.)


That worked and I have not experienced any Wi-Fi connectivity problems since.
