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.
