Windows 10 WiFi connection set to manual

My nephew has a Toshiba laptop with a realtek WiFi chip.
Yesterday he tethered it to his android phone, on going to connect the following morning to the Virginia media WiFi, it couldn't find it, and the connection was set to manual
I have tried all the things I can find in Google, but nothing will allow it to find the vm wifi, any suggestions, I have tried altering the settings, updating the drivers, a registry hack to all to no avail.

Disconnect the android phone and see what happens you might have to enter a password to join the wifi connection a gain check your routers manual for this.

Thanks for your reply, in the end I just saved the files he needed and did a reset which cured the problem.
