Windows 10 WiFi disconnection after about a minute (disabled PMKID)
Raw
note-disabled-pmkid-wifi-issue.md

If the WiFi connection disconnects after about a minute (or less) on Windows 10, one reason can be disabled PMKID. This WiFi feature can be disabled to improve security (as it can be exploited in some WiFi attacks in some specific scenarios), but it can also cause issues with some clients.

In this case a HP 250 G7 notebook disconnected after about or less than a minute from a Mikrotik RouterBOARD mAP 2n. The Disable PMKID feature was enabled in the security profile used by the wireless interface in question and disabling it fixed the issue immediately.

Note: (Wireless (sidebar) → Security Profile (tab) → open the used security profile (default) → disable the Disable PMKID checkbox at the bottom → OK)
