I have struggled with this exact issue since yesterday. I've looked up several different support forums and lists of workarounds that I repeated with no results. After going through all of those methods a few times and about 36 hours of frustration I found this video while at the same time I was inspecting the network card on the motherboard and seeing whether physically removing it and re-attatching would change anything (for the third time). Surprise surprise, it somehow worked! The Wi-Fi came right back after restarting as if nothing had ever happened. So I didn't end up actually needing any of the advice in this video, but since I came here and was grateful to see options I hadn't seen suggested before (like the power flush), I'll say thank you! Videos like yours are a wonderful resource for people having these kinds of issues. I hope more people find them before accumulating too much stress! :D

Thank you, it took me a couple of hours of troubleshooting from your videos but my Wi-Fi finally came back on.

You are a wifisaver, you managed to explain things easily and understandable!

[SillyGoose_Gaming]

I was absolutely terrified but your video helped me so much! Draining the battery and restarting worked like magic for me. I would genuinely be so lost without youtube channels like yours. Thank you for your clear instructions and in general just for doing what you do

[emirhanozpogda]

I just helped a colleague in the office resolve her laptop wifi issues by watching your video. You are the best.

You're a lifesaver. I did everything and lost hope. But then I pulled out the battery and flushed the power. Worked like a charm. Thanks a million.

The power flush worked like a charm. This video was the only helpful tutorial about this issue I have found! Well done and thank you!

[alexeypotanin]

Great guide! Really covers all basis. Only comment I might have is that there are problems with the Command prompt when you try to -d. On windows 11 it’s supposed to be /d but that doesn’t seem to do the trick either.

[snufkinismus]

Thank you so much. Not only do you explain in detail what needs to be done, you also provide a wide vitality of fixes for our problems. Also thank you for saving my bum here!

Omg thank you so much for uploading this. What worked for me was the power flush. You are a life saver ❤❤

[iMintyNinja]

!!!!uninstalling and scanning to have the pc reinstall the adapter did the trick!!!! Thanks Sandeep!

[arohan]

The below steps did the job for me:

1. Changing the status of WWAN Auto Config to Automatic and Running (My WLAN Auto Config was already set to Automatic and Running)

2. Running cmd as an Administrator and executing the command "netsh winsock reset"

3. Restarting the computer

Thanks for the above video... was extremely helpful!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING! I was desperate, the last two days were a nightmare! Making WLAN AutoConfig running brought back my will to live

The power flush worked I've been trying things for 2 days trying all different methods sometimes multiple times. The power flush reinstalled my network adapters, and my wifi works now.
