Wow

I’m going through something similar

#

I know it has different driver versions but for me it’s been happening for the past 6 months. I could be connected to a network or even turning my computer on, I always have to troubleshoot the network adapter

Guys I found the answer

#

Ignore everything you’ve seen already

#

Go to the services and find WLAN “Autoconfig”

#

#

It works for me now

#

Just make sure the service has the startup type at “automatic” and press apply after the change

#

You should start to see the changes after a few seconds

I have it on manual doesn't matter🗿

woven trellis Mar 3, 2023, 10:52 PM

#

weak kraken I have it on manual doesn't matter🗿

Actually it does

#

If it’s on manual it will just start when you call the service to run

#

If you have it automatically it will start from the very beginning of the boot

I had it at manual before
