Windows update (24H2) causing wifi issues

Anonymous

Hi,

I installed the new windows 11 24H2 update about a week and for whatever reason my wifi drivers have stopped working (specifically the Killer (R) Wi-Fi 6E AX1675i). The wifi option itself no longer appears.

I have tried a number of the solutions listed on this forum involving troubleshooting, a network reset, entering the netsh/ipconfig commands on CMD for TCP/IP reset, uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, restarted the router (not the modem, but I don't think this should be an issue as other devices seem to connect just fine) and nothing seems to be working. I didn't realize that I hadn't approved system restore, so I don't have a restoration point I can restore to. Uninstalling the update doesn't seem to be doing anything either (I am fairly sure that I uninstalled the correct update, but I could be wrong).

I have an Acer Swift Go 14 device (i7-1355u). I am not super technically adept, so I am not sure the following will cause any issues with connecting or not, but I have the Cisco AnyConnect Adapter driver, a VPN driver (Tunnel Bear), the Bluetooth Personal Area Network driver, a Realtek USB driver, and a bunch of WAN Miniport drivers as part of my network drivers.

Currently, I can only connect to the internet via an Ethernet connection.

Any help would be appreciated.

    The fix I've found for it is to set this reg key

    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinHttpAutoProxySvc

    'Start' needs to be set to '3' and the machine needs to be rebooted.

    The key reverts to '4' on reboot BECAUSE I HAD A GPO TO DISABLE WPAD. IF YOU HAVE A GPO OR REG KEY TO DISABLE WPAD ,THIS WILL BREAK IT.

    Note: keeping WPAD disbaled is recommended for best security practices, but until Microsoft fixes this it will continue to not work.

    I finally succeeded by starting dns client ( changing 4 to 3 with regedit). Check that service is started as well as winhttpproxy service.

    Please refer the permanent solution on this.

    open Regedit as admin

    Go here:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinHttpAutoProxySvc

     

    Change the 'Start value' to 3

    Open Services.msc
    Find service :- WLAN AutoConfig & restart service

     

     

    sc config WcmSvc depend= RpcSs/NSI

    would this be relevant if you werent running a proxy?
