Hi,
I am experiencing an issue where Wi-Fi authentication is missing, even though the WLAN AutoConfig service is running automatically in Windows 10.
In the first picture, authentication is present for the wired NIC, but in the second picture, it is missing for the wireless NIC. I restarted the WLAN AutoConfig service and ensured it remains running, but this did not resolve the issue.
I then found an article discussing the same problem and outlining a solution. However, after following the suggested steps, the issue persists. I am unsure if the method is supposed to work or if I might have missed something.
Can anyone provide insights or suggest alternative solutions? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
You will always see the Authentication tab for a connected Ethernet adapter (when the Wired service is enabled and running). But for Wireless, the situation is not that simple. You will only see the Authentication tab if you have manually created the WLAN profile for an Enterprise WPA SSID, or if you select the SSID from the Available Networks and manage to associate (either via username/password, or via certificate). Once the WLAN is associated and connected, you will see the tab to make modifications to it.
The best way is to create the WLAN profiled manually.
click Next.
You will then see this - click on "Change connection settings"
