When consumers attempt to use their Windows computers to connect to the internet over a wireless connection, an error notice stating “Windows could not start the WLAN AutoConfig service” appears. There are numerous potential causes of this issue that include:
- You may experience problems similar to the one at hand if WLAN adapter drivers are incompatible because they are corrupt or obsolete.
- The error may be caused by improperly configured registry keys that are preventing the service from operating.
- Malware or File corruption could be causing your system’s components and services to malfunction.
