Wifi delayed start

Anonymous
2021-09-02T20:01:18+00:00

I have two Dell computers, a work laptop (windows 10 pro version 20H2 build 19042.1165) and a personal desktop (windows 10 home version 20H2 build 19042.1165) and both have the same problem. On startup or restart my wifi is very slow to connect automatically (60+ seconds). The network is instantly discoverable and I can connect to it manually if I choose. My desktop used to connect automatically very quickly (15-20 seconds) and I'm quite sure that the performance has eroded as a result of some windows update. I tried replacing my router but it made no difference at all. I've tried every solution I could find on this and other forums including forgetting and reconnecting the network, reinstalling wifi adapter drivers, ect to no avail.

    I'm not sure how to do that and I don't have a data plan on my phone. Again, I did replace my router from a N300 to a AC1000 with no change in performance. I can very quickly connect to my wifi network manually after startup but it just does not do it automatically like it once did. Maybe its just due to changes in Windows boot sequence caused by Windows updates?

    Hi, my name is Anderson Souza, I hope I can help you with your issue.

    Could you create a hotspot network on your cell phone just to test if the same delay occurs with this other network or only with your router's network?

    Yes that is set to automatic (and not automatic delayed).

    Hi scinmn,

    I'm Paul and I'm here to help you with your concern.

    Can you check the WLAN AutoConfig in the Services?

    Press Windows key + R > type and enter services.msc > find and double click WLAN AutoConfig > set the startup-type to Automatic > click Apply and OK.

    Then check if the issue still persists.

    I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted.
