Windows 10: How do I make Wifi work in PE?

I've been trying to make a PE image and it is working fine. I can add programs (Macrium, PaleMoon, Explorer++) and it works fine in VM (through virtual Ethernet). It also works booting it from USB.

What I can't do is make WiFi work when booting from USB. I need this as I don't have Ethernet at all on my laptop.

I've tried adding the various drivers but can't get it to work.

Can anyone help - or see what I have done wrong or left out?

This is what I have done so far for WiFi: Code: # Add any device drivers (.inf files) - this folder contains BroadcomWirelessWin8x64 Dism /Add-Driver /Image:"$WorkDir\mount" /Driver:"$HomeDir\Drivers\" /recurse # For Wifi - WinPE 4.0 - Enable Wireless Support Dism /Add-Driver /Image:"$WorkDir\mount" /Driver:"$env:SystemRoot\Inf\netnwifi.inf" Dism /Add-Driver /Image:"$WorkDir\mount" /Driver:"$env:SystemRoot\Inf\netvwififlt.inf" copy "$env:SystemRoot\Inf\netvwifibus.inf" "$WorkDir\mount\Windows\Inf\netvwifibus.inf" copy "$env:SystemRoot\System32\Drivers\vwifibus.sys" "$WorkDir\mount\Windows\System32\Drivers\vwifibus.sys" copy "$env:SystemRoot\System32\Drivers\vwifibus.sys" "$WorkDir\mount\Windows\Inf\vwifibus.sys" # Wifi adapter Dism /Add-Driver /Image:"$WorkDir\mount" /Driver:"$HomeDir\Drivers\BroadcomWirelessWin8x64\bcmwl63.inf"[/quote] And this is all of of my PE ISO generation script (just in case I forgot something above)...

How do I make the WiFi settings tab appear in Network Settings?

OK hopefully now that we clarified your issue someone will come along that can help diagnose the problem with the Windows 10 screen, since obviously the hardware is working and the legacy screens that support it are also working

sorry I don't have the answer, but I will look around some...

 

How do I make the WiFi settings tab appear in Network Settings?

You seem not to understand my problem. I am connected to it, it is broadcasting it's SSID but windows does not offer me the WiFi settings tab in Network Settings.

If I press the network icon it sees NO wireless networks. It is a gui problem.

I tried another user, same problem, but at the login screen if I press the network icon the WiFi network selection tab apears from the right and it sees all networks. As soon as I login it no longer works.

 

Hi,

I am also trying to enable wifi in winpe 10. I was able to enable on winpe3.1, winpe5.0 and winpe5.1. I followed the same steps as of previous winpe versions, but couldn't able to enable wifi in winpe 10. It seems, nativewifip service is not running. further investigation shows that, required registry entries are not there in registry for nativewifip. Generally these will be updated when we install netnwifi.inf file. "netcfg -l netnwifi.inf -c s -I MS_NativeWifiP" is returning success but registry entries are not updated for nativewifip service. when I cross checked the netnwifi.inf in windows 10 against windows8, there are differences. in netnwifi.inf of windows10, no entries related to nativewifip available. Is there any change from windows8 to wndows10. If any one tried enabling wifi in winpe10, can you please give the pointers.

 

I found you had to add a whole lot of extra stuff to get net start wlansvc and netsh wlan to work ....

regedits required for NativeWifiP (among others) are below. NativeWifiP failed also due to missing signatures and these are copied in also (in red).

The sources are mentioned in the code but are updated with what was present in a virgin 10 Pro install.

Hi,

Thank you very much. I could able to enable wifi in winpe10. Earlier I was updating the registry entries for nativewifip. from you script I released that some more things like vwifi also needed. thank you very much.

 

You are welcome. Not sure why they make it so difficult as Wi-Fi is very useful in WinPE...

 

Hi,

Thank you very much. Is my assumption correct that the script is PowerShell? And can you post the complete script?

 

I know this is an old thread, but was wondering if anyone actually got this to work, and if so if you would mind sharing your process\scripts\instructions

 

As opposed to the code above which works?

Whether it is worth it is debatable - it is a lot of duplicated effort.

I'd suggest you look at the oven.

 

Lx07, thanks for the reply much appreciated! Taking the code from above to a win 10 system with ADK installed, I build the ISO and then boot the system, I see no WIFI adaptors present, nor will netsh load the wlan modules (WcnNetsh.dll and wlancfg.dll) so from my experience it is not working.
I took both pieces of code (from messages 3 and 8) stitched them together, the code runs fine no errors, but wifi does not work.

 

I can't make a suggestion really. Every single thing that does not work you need to play with. WiFi is particularly difficult.

You need to put in the effort yourself. Or, and this would be my recommendation, ask at theoven.com.

 

Some comments from the standpoint of an ignorant person watching smart people work on this:

• It can be done.
• You need to start with WinRE rather than WinPE. (No, I don't know what I just said.)
• Microsoft recently removed wireless support from WinRE but it can be added back.
  (Microsoft reasonably does not want to make a recovery system so flexible that there is no reason to buy Windows.)

I have no specific information, but members of the Acronis user community have developed a "builder" that creates a WinRE system with wireless support (and the Acronis True Image backup and restore software). And I know it works because I've used it. I have no idea how willing they are to share their knowledge but you could ask.
