Based on what you have upload If WLAN AutoConfig (Wlansvc
) is set to Automatic and you still have to start it manually after every reboot, I will suggest you some steps to troubleshoot it and after you try it, please let me know the result:
- Service start type is not truly “Automatic” :
Sometimes, the service might be set to “Automatic (Delayed Start)” or some third-party software might be interfering.
- Press
Win + R
, typeservices.msc
, press Enter. - Scroll to WLAN AutoConfig.
- Double-click it.
- Set Startup type to:
Automatic
- Click Start (if not started), then click Apply and OK.
- Sometimes they are Missing or Delayed
WLAN AutoConfig
depends on other services like:
Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
Network Connections
If these services are delayed, Wlansvc
might fail to start properly. So to make sure the following services are set to Automatic and Running:
-
RPC
-
Network Connections
-
Network Location Awareness
- Sometimes the Fast Startup Interference cause the problem too :
Windows Fast Startup sometimes interferes with services and drivers not reinitializing properly. So we need to disable Fast Startup:
- Go to Control Panel > Power Options > Choose what the power buttons do
- Click Change settings that are currently unavailable
- Uncheck Turn on fast startup
- Save changes and reboot.
- Corrupted System Files
A corrupted system may fail to start the service properly. Run the following commands one by one in Command Prompt (Admin):
sfc /scannow
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
- You also need to check Registry Entry is correct or not
You can check the registry to make sure the service is truly set to start automatically.
- Press
Win + R
, typeregedit
, and press Enter. - Navigate to : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Wlansvc
- Ensure the Start value is set to
2
(which means Automatic).-
Start = 2
→ Automatic -
Start = 3
→ Manual -
Start = 4
→ Disabled
-
*Right-click Start, choose Modify, and set the value to 2
if it isn't.
- Make sure the is Third-Party Software Conflicts
Some antivirus or system optimization tools may disable network services to “speed up” boot time.
