WLAN AutoConfig keeps turning itself off.

This error does not allow me to use WiFi at all, I believe it was caused by a corruption by forcing my laptop to turn off. There were other errors that came along with it, but it seems they have been resolved on their own. Anyway, I have tried as much as I can through online tutorials, but they do not seem to have an effect on the WiFi, I do not really want to replace my WiFi card (my current one WiFi card being a Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377). Can I get any help for this?

    What is the error verbatim text and number exactly?

    Did you complete all of the steps? Please don't skip any steps. We often find out later that the fix was the skipped step. If you need help performing any step I will help.

    Hello Greg,

    Thanks for offering help, but sadly, none of the solutions listed didn't work. I did try other solutions and one of them was related to WLAN AutoConfig, in my case it is always disabled, whenever I try to enable it it keeps on turning itself off, connect to my WiFi network and immediately turns off and the cycle repeats. So far I have not found anything for it. Is there anything that can solve this?

    You keep referring to an error. What is the error exactly? An error means something is reported to be in error, usually by a specific error message with a number. Have you received this?

    What did your internet provider Support say?

    Did you try another or a USB wireless adapter?

    I believe the error I found is new. It just started to happen and there were no error messages when this problem started to happen and when I used a troubleshooter, it attempted to fix the problem, but no luck. only Ethernet connection works. I believe this article is related https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/resetting-wlan-autoconfig-fix.3508057/

    I do not think I have skipped any steps as well, I am always thorough when following tutorials.

    EDIT: I also forgot to mention that when the WiFi problem started to happen, there were error messages popping up upon booting up. These errors are related to "SpeechRuntime.exe" and "WerFault.exe", the error messages are about how they will not startup, but after sometime these errors stopped.

    Hi Jo-Lo. I'm Greg, an installation specialist, 10 year Windows MVP, and Volunteer Guardian Moderator here to help you.

    I'll give you everything that works to fix Wifi so that at least something will work:

    For Wifi won't connect after Version 1903:

    https://www.techrepublic.com/article/wi-fi-and-...

    https://pureinfotech.com/fix-wifi-problems-wind...

    Enable IPv6 in the network adapter settings: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/90033-enabl...

    Run the fixit from https://support.microsoft.com/help/929852 (Re-enable IPv6 on all nontunnel interfaces) and reboot.

    Right click the network icon in System Tray at bottom right end of task bar to Troubleshoot Problems.

    Try all of these steps: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/10741/...

    https://www.kapilarya.com/how-to-reset-network-...

    Update your network adapter drivers from the PC maker's Support Downloads web page using the full model number, HP Serial Number or Dell Service Tag on sticker. Compare the latest drivers available for download with the ones presently installed in Device Manager reached by right clicking the Start Menu. Make sure you have the latest BIOS or UEFI firmware, Chipset, Display (Video), Sound, USB3, Bluetooth, Network and all other drivers, or else download and install the latest now.

    If you have the latest network driver then try on it's Driver tab also to Roll Back, or Uninstall and then restart PC to reinstall the driver. Try also all older drivers from Update Driver > Browse > Let Me Pick list working backwards.

    Go to Settings > Network & Internet > WIfi > Manage Known Networks, highlight and remove the network having problems, restart PC to see if it shows up again.

    Try plugging in by ethernet cable to the router to compare, then plug the ethernet cable into the modem (if separate) to see if this might be an issue with the router.

    Try powering off modem, router and PC and then restarting in that order with 1 minute in between each. You may need to reset your router or even optimize it following these steps:

    https://www.lifewire.com/resetting-a-home-netwo...

    http://www.maximumpc.com/article/features/ultim...

    Your router manual is always available from the manufacturer's website for your exact model.

    You also are entitled to Support from your internet provider to get online on all devices. This is always included in the monthly bill. If your router is less than a year old they will also Support getting it connected and optimized.

    Another option is you could replace the wireless adapter with an inexpensive USB nano adapter like this one: https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-wireless-network...

    You can also add an extender. The best one I've found is $17 at Amazon, configures itself, and so good I'd never use any other: https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Extender-Externa...

    If this was caused by Windows Updates then you can check which were installed at Settings>Update & Security>Windows Update under Installed Updates, then uninstall them from the link there, and hide with the Hide Updates tool downloaded from here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/2/2/f2...

    You can also use System Restore to get before the problem began, then check for Updates with the Hide Update tool and hide them: http://home.bt.com/tech-gadgets/computing/how-t...

    If this was caused by Version update then you can roll it back in Settings>Update & Security>Recovery and then hide it until it matures using the Hide Updates Tool downloaded from here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/2/2/f2...

    I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.
