cannot move my preferred network to top

[Dittoman1]

Why cannot I move my network preference to top 1st, 2 nd, 3 rd like I always do. I see its mixed up as my 5.0 is 4th line down and 2.4 last . Since I DL Catalina, I find it impossible to arranged them in order I want

Please tell us how you are modifying the order and what issues you are running into?

it cannot be moved at all

You said in your first post, I asked WHAT you were doing and seeing since I am on Catalina and can re-arrange my 5 options as I see fit.

If you shutdown your Mac, wait 40± seconds and then boot up and check.

Don't just reboot,

Are you booted in and using an admin user account???

Maybe you need to try doing a PRAM and SMC resets:

When I tried to do SMC reset, when I shut down then hold down 4 buttons same time, the computer doesn't blink 2 times or make sound twice, instead it comes back on. I tried it 4 times not working??

Also If I want o highlight the word or sentence to copy, I cannot highlight at all..**** whats wrong. Tried SMC but like what I said above

If you are using a wireless keyboard, you will need to tap quickly, release, and press/hold them again, in order to get the keyboard activated. You only need to press one key down, not all of them.

That still seems to be a standard fix for so many computer problems, and maybe it should always be the first thing to try.

So, glad to hear it worked.
