Dell Venue 8 Pro WiFi Issue
it seems either way I disable the Wi Fi by the 'switch' itself or 'Airplane' mode it is a pain to get it on and have to manually 'disable the entire WiFi and then enable it joggin the WiFi off and on til it seems to catch on I am trying to turn it back on. I am only trying to turn it off to save battery right now but is this normal? Will a fix be forth coming because i'ts a pain right now.

Just to add a comment, I was not having wifi issues but I did have the "I am not waking after pressing the button" problem. This has been increasingly annoying (frequency of this was rising) and has led me to reinstall windows from scratch.
I have updated everything from windows update except the 2 famous updates. And that has brought me to WIFI issues and to SLEEP issues, disastrous. I've installed (later) all dell drivers that hadn't been updated by the dell program, and hasn't changed anything.
Honestly, what can I do? That's completely unacceptable, but that's what it is. The only thing I can conclude is that Dell has serious economical problems if they cannot manage to have a tablet that works okay, software wise.
Conclusion, I will substitute that for the Surface mini or for any other tablet, but way too early of what I wanted. That's the main reason I will never buy anything else from Dell. They must be facing bad perspectives, otherwise I cannot understand how they can be so unprofessional.

A quick way that I found to get the WiFi working again, is to go to:
Now you should be able to enable wifi connections on the panel you enable Airplane mode.
I will try to see if a driver update fixes this as well.

The Bios update solves a lot of problems. Recently I couldn't get the weather or other apps to update. Run a full MRT scan. Type mrt in the windows run box and let it run till done.
You might be surprised what it might find, or run Malwarebytes also. My tablet works great now!

Open File Explorer, then tap-> Open Control Panel. In the "Search Control Panel" type: windows update. Then tap-> View Installed Updates.
Uninstall updates: KB2883200 & KB2887595 & KB2903939
Restart the Venue 8 Pro and it should work again. Hope this helps.
