Windows 10: After windows update around Oct 15 Windows can not identify wifi card, access...

I have tried many troubleshooting fixes, all of which have failed.


1. Uninstall/reinstall wifi drivers. for specific card and general/generic drivers I have tried this several way, from the devices manager, running the raw .exe files downloaded from the official Manufactures websites, turning off firewalls and virus protection software, etc.

2. about 2 weeks ago when it first happened I had to do a system restore and manually restore all my apps. And even then, windows carried over the bug, but after about 20 minutes if fixed itself, and the wireless adapter was found again.

3. I've run windows network diagnostics/repairs, from the system itself, an external bootable windows install USB, and from CMD.

4. Win+R to run services.msc and manually enabled/set to auto run on start "WLAN Auto Config"

5. I've run many CMD command to reset/refresh network configs

• Type netsh winsock reset and press Enter. successfully ran, but did not resolve
• Type netsh int ip reset and press Enter. successfully ran, but did not resolve
  
• Type ipconfig /release and press Enter. cannot run if the is no media connection
• Type ipconfig /renew and press Enter. cannot run if the is no media connection
  
• Type ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter successfully ran, but did not resolve
• netsh wlan show profiles = There is no wireless interface on the system.

The main concern is that I cannot connect to my wifiand log onto work. I am also trying to avoid having to do a system restore, as I do not want to have to reinstall all my applications.


As for the update, I have been stuck on the update:

"2020-10 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1909 for x64 based Systems

KB4577671 - Error 0x800f0986"


I have likewise run many CMD lines to attempt to fix this, which have all failed.

CMDs run:

• dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth No component store corruption detected
• dism /online /cleanup-image /checkhealth No component store corruption detected
• dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth Completed successfully, but did not resolve issue
• sfc /scannow
• net stop wuauserv
• net stop cryptSvc
• net stop bits
• net stop msiserver
• Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
• Ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old
• net start wuauserv
• net start cryptSvc
• net start bits
• net start msiserver
• chkdsk

The Troubleshooter of Windows is not helping anything either.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”

Windows 7 virtual wifi authentication mode

Hello.

Just a quick question to whoever is using windows 7 virtual wifi capability - when you type in "netsh wlan show hostednetwork", cmd window displays a list of settings for your hosted virtual wifi.

I was wondering, is there a way to change authentication method from WPA2-Personal to simple WEP ?

Cheers.
