On the third time, it started doing an "Automatic repair" and I accidentally interrupted the computer while it was doing it by powering down.

The Audio Service is not running / The Windows wireless service is not running on this computer

Everything you've listed has been done until exhaustion sets in. Nothing seems to re-enable the audio/wifi on a permanent basis.

Any other suggestions?
