No WIFI in Windows 10 after a windows update

I have below issue on both windows laptop's, but this issue is not happening via a Apple MacBook.
On a Apple Macbook the WIFI works. Also all other devices in my home/work office do not have this WIFI issue.

After a Windows 10 update I cannot connect to the Wi-Fi.
The error message is the following: “can’t connect to this network”.
The Wi-Fi works on other Access Points.
We tried the usual troubleshooting steps: uninstall the driver, test with a different driver, make the connection private, search for new updates, forget the connection and try connecting back, make the connection open, finetuned the power saving mode settings, reset router, reset laptop, update bios laptop.
The issue is encountered on Windows 10 HP & Lenovo laptops.
