Windows 10: Wired Autoconfig service missing

I have a WIN 10 machine that's been having difficulty authenticating on our network due to Wired autoconfig not running, it is required for machines on our network.I went into services and the wired service just... isn't there.WLAN autoconfig is running and working properly, but I am unable to find Wired autoconfig.I have gone through the services list, I have gone into Group policy > administrative templates > Network, and wired autoconfig policy isn't there either.I've fixed this issue before through GP, so I've hit a wall.Is there somewhere else I can go to find a way to force it to r

Windows could not start the WLAN AutoConfig service on Local Computer


I need some help to get my wireless connection to work again.

• After recent Windows 10 Update, my wireless connection no longer works. I've done some troubleshooting and I have ruled out my ISP, cable modem, and router, leaving the issue to be something within the computer (Dell laptop - Inspiron 7537).
• The wired connection works fine
• When I run Windows Network Diagnosis, it tells me that the Windows Wireless Service is not running (see attached pdf report)
• When I try to manually start the WLANSVC service, i get an error message that says "Windows could not start the WLAN AutoConfig service on Local Computer Error 193:0xc1" (see attached)
• When I try to manually start the WLANSVC service from the command prompt (as Admin) I get a slightly different message that says "The WLAN AutoConfig service is starting. The WLAN AutoConfig service could not be started. A system error has occurred. System error 193 has occurred. *** is not a valid Win32 application." (see attached)
• I've downloaded the latest Intell PROset Wireless drivers from Dell (V18.20.0.9) for the Wireless-N 7260 wireless network adapter and have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers. This didn't help.
• I've attached some screenshots and a pdf copy of the Windows Network Diagnostics report.

WLan autoconfig setting is missing in the services app

hello,

I have recently lost wireless internet connectivity. I am a little tech savvy and so i thought i'de be able to solve the issue myself, but after about six hours i am looking for help.

while looking for solutions to my problem i came across lots of references to the windows service "WLan autoconfig" and how it must be set as a startup service. however, looking in my list of services, i only see WWan autoconfig (which is not running and
set to manual) and no Wlan autoconfig. I suspect that this may be the issue, as everything else looks fine. i have reinstalled adapter drivers. windows diagnostics says that "windows couldnt automatically bind the ip protocol stack to the network adapter".
i have already attempted a network reset. ethernet still works fine. i doubt this is a hardware issue as bluetooth still works (though im not sure if bluetooth depends on the network adapter)

im having this issue on my laptop which uses a qualcomm atheros QCA9377 network adapter.

any help would be appreciated

 

What are the bare services and components needed for WiFi?

Thank you for the list.

I have tested it and as far as I can tell, I condensed it down to this list without breaking Wifi.

Application Layer Gateway Service

Network Connections

Network List Service

Network Location Awareness (NLA)

Plug And Play

Remote Procedure Call (RPC)

Wired AutoConfig

WLAN AutoConfig

DHCP Client

Server

Windows Event Log

The others are optional, I feel like.

I know that

"Remote..." services are needed for VPNs.

Telephony, WWAN AutoConfig are connection via mobile devices.

Edit: Need Windows Event Log and Network List Service
