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.

Can't start Windows Connection Manager and WLAN AutoConfig

Hello there!

So I can't connect to my wifi and think I have located the problem. My WLAN AutoConfig is not running and when i try to start it I get this massage "Windows could not start the WLAN AutoConfig servies on local computer. Error 1068: the dependency service
or group failed to start."

After look under dependencies I found that everything ran exept Windows Connection Manager. When I try to start it I get the same massage as above. I then look at Windows Connection Manager dependencies all of the other steps was running

Any ideas?
