    Hello

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community forum.

    Here are a few steps you can try to resolve this issue:

    Run a full antivirus scan: Some wlanapi.dll files can be associated with malware infections, so it’s recommended to run a full antivirus scan using Windows Defender or your antivirus program.

    Run the System File Checker tool: This tool can scan and repair missing or corrupted system files on Windows.

    run cmd>sfc /scannow

    Re-register the Wlanapi.dll file manually: Here’s how you can do it:

    Press Windows key + S.

    Type Command.

    Right-click on Command Prompt.

    Select Run as administrator.

    Once prompted, enter the administrator credentials.

    In the Command Prompt window, type: regsvr32 /u wlanapi.dll

    Press Enter to un-register the file.

    Once done, type: regsvr32 /i wlanapi.dll

    Press Enter to re-register the file.

    Best Regards,

    Wesley Li
