Can't connect SX530 HS to PC via wi-fi

[Jamz58]

I have a Powershot SX530 HS. I have no issues connecting it to my wireless network and seeing my PC but I can't connect to my PC. I can see the camera show up on our home network while it tries to connect but it times out after about a minute and the camera says "Connection failed". I have run the Wi-Fi Connection Setup software on my Windows 10 PC.
Any ideas how to resolve this?

AH!  control panel, of course!!  im on windows 10 so i had to go searching to find control panel and the add device setting since win10 hides control panel and uses their fancy new annoying settings app.  

anyways thank you this fixed my issue
