''Wired AutoConfig'' missing in the ''services'' tab, windows 10

Question

Screenshot 2023-09-03 214257.png

So I need to enable 802.1X authentication. I got myself a step by step guide on how to do that. As far as I understand firstly I need to enable Wired AutoConfig, but after searching for it I realised that it is missing.

(Windows Key + R, services.msc, etc)

It is simply not there.

How do I fix that? Is there any other way to enable 802.1X authentication?

Thanks

Hi,@Markuss B 

Based on your description, I may need more information to help with this issue~ 

1.What is your version of your OS?Is it a physical or virtual machine? 

2.You can't open the services or you can't find the "Wired AutoConfig"in the service? 

If you can't open the services, I think you may be typing it wrong~ 

Please try in the run box type "services.msc"and try again. 

If you can't find the "Wired AutoConfig"in the service, try to enable 802.1X authentication by follow the steps below.（Depending on the configuration of each computer, the steps may be different.) 

Ensure that the device is running Windows 10 or later. 

Open the Settings app and navigate to Network & Internet > Ethernet. 

Click on the Ethernet connection you want to configure. 

Scroll down to the "Related settings" section and click on "Change adapter options". 

Right-click on the Ethernet connection and select "Properties". 

Scroll down to the "This connection uses the following items" section and select "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)". 

Click on the "Properties" button. 

Click on the "Advanced" button. 

Click on the "802.1X Settings" tab. 

Check the box next to "Enable 802.1X authentication for this network". 

Select the appropriate authentication method from the drop-down menu. 

Enter the required credentials. 

Click "OK" to save the changes. 

(PS)The credentials required for 802.1X authentication depend on the authentication method you choose. For example, if you choose EAP-TLS, you will need to provide a client certificate and private key. If you choose PEAP-MSCHAPv2, you will need to provide a username and password.
