If your Wi-Fi is not working and Windows is not getting updates, you can follow these troubleshooting steps:
- Check Wi-Fi Connection: Ensure that your Wi-Fi is enabled and that you are connected to the correct network. You can try disconnecting and reconnecting to the network.
- Restart WLAN Autoconfig Service: Restarting the WLAN Autoconfig Service (WlanSvc) can help resolve connectivity issues. You can do this by typing
services.mscin the Run dialog (Win + R), finding the WLAN Autoconfig service, and restarting it. - Update Windows: Make sure that your system is updated. Check for updates by going to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update. Install any available updates.
- Check for Third-Party Connection Managers: If you have any third-party connection managers installed, consider uninstalling them as they may interfere with the native Windows connection manager.
- Run Network Troubleshooter: Use the built-in network troubleshooter by going to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters > Internet Connections.
- Check Hardware: Ensure that your Wi-Fi hardware is functioning properly. You may want to check the device manager for any issues with your network adapter.
- Reset Network Settings: If the problem persists, you can reset your network settings. Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Status > Network reset.
If you follow these steps and still experience issues, you may want to consult more detailed guides or seek professional assistance.
