Windows 10 WiFi not working after network reset

Resetting Windows WiFi is quite a good option when wireless is not working.

Indeed, “network reset” will does help if there are network issues.

What if after doing “network reset” comes with another issue?

For example, after doing network reset the Wireless option on the taskbar is unable to find or see the available WiFi networks.

If Windows 10 is unable to find available WiFi or does not show wireless SSID available networks after network reset, then it could be that some services are not running or were set to “Manual” and did not run automatically after reset. Therefore, the service or services has to be started manually to run or enable the service.

Screenshot below shows how to do a network reset on Windows 10.

Press Windows key + I, on the search box type “network reset” and from the drop-down result, choose “network reset”. The system will ask to reboot or might reboot immediately. So, save files that needs to be saved before doing network reset.

 


After “network reset” if available wireless network cannot be seen or no WiFi is visible to the system. Do not fret, press windows key + r and type services.msc  it’s one word with a “.” in between. Click Ok or press enter and the services window will open.

On Windows services window, press “w” so it will go to services that starts with “w” and look for “WLAN AutoConfig”, the service must be running. Click on “Start” to run the service if it is not running and check if the WiFi networks will show-up.



Double clicking the service will provide an option to start and stop a service. 


If Wired network is not working check “Wired AutoConfig” is running if this service is not running, even though the cable, network driver is properly installed the wired network will not work.

Starting and stopping a service requires an administrator account, if the admin account is used then the buttons will be grayed out and the user will be unable to start and stop the service.

Cheers. Till next time.

Print error 016-799 - Fuji Film Xerox

016-799 Fuji Xerox or Fuji Film print error code. That shows a description error as “Print instruction Fail detected in decomposer.” The error code and error description are alien languages for users and even system administrators who are not familiar with Fuji Xerox error code. The error code is quite simple and easy to fix, if the job print goes to the printer but print out doesn’t come out. So, basically the print job was received by the printer, but the printer just doesn’t know what type of paper or what size to use or which tray to utilize for the print out. In some instances, this is just a paper mismatch but the error description; if using Windows 10 to print does not exactly points to what is the issue. First thing to check, is the paper size selected by the user to print. Example, if the printer configuration is A3 and A4 sizes only. But then the person printing the file accidentally chooses “A4 Cover” then this error 016-799 will occur. ...

WMIC get computer name

If you have remote computers, you need to delegate someone in the remote office or location to check. Or you can just write a batch file or script to automate the task. Here’s the code below on how get computer model, manufacturer and the username. Open an elevated command prompt and type:     wmic computersystem get "Model","Manufacturer", "Name", "UserName" Just copy and paste the code above, the word “computersystem” does not need to be change to a computer name.

Delete Directories with Wildcards using rd or rmdir

  Deleting files in command prompt using wildcards is quite straight forward. Command below will delete all text (".txt") files on the specified path.      Del D:\txtlog\*.txt Command above will delete all files with ".txt" extension in d:\txtlog directory. Easy enough to delete all matching files. Using the same method with rmdir or rd command this will not work. For example, if we have a directory on d drive that is auto-generated by an application and the filename is consistent with a pattern plus incrementing number at the end to differentiate the folder from other folders.    D:\baklogs\log1\    D:\baklogs\log2\    D:\baklogs\log3\    Etc..    D:\baklogs\log100\ The folder name has a consistent pattern that is preceded by the word “log” plus incrementing number. If the command below is executed to remove the directories in one go, an error is shown which h...
