Windows 10 WIFI list not showing, adapter can do connect only in manual

By John Campbell

In windows10-1909 pro x64 (Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265) does not showing any networks. nor from system tray, nor from wifi setting panel. The console netsh wlan show networks reports available networks and it is possible to connect to any network given mannualy credential and SSID. It seems not to be a driver problem as it was unistalled/purged from windows inf store /installed back. all the same.

any suggestions?

the applet icon doesnot work enter image description hereUPDATE: 1. I did network reset 2. i tryed out also all recipes with sfc, restorehealth and online repair images

manual config is only work for wifi the only way to setup wifi network for me

UPDATE2: not only wifi applet does not work, but any right click action on any taskbar app doesn't work too! investigating the problem further i noticed that the ** defaultuser ** folder in windows10 user folder is not hidden and this name is like defaultuser01 and the second defaultuser02. Other note that on windows welcome/logon screen the wifi applet works normally. so i guess that problem is related to userprofile. the newly created new user has the same problem.

The following might help:

  • Run the Network troubleshooter
    Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Status > Network troubleshooterand follow the steps in the troubleshooter.

  • Temporarily turn off any antivirus or malware-prevention software

  • Use network reset to reinstall network devices
    Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Status > Network reset, click on Reset now, answer Yes to confirm, then wait for the PC to restart

  • Check in the Services applet if the Radio Management Service is started.

EDIT: Since none of the above did work, network corruption is probably ruled out, and my suspicion is now for Windows corruption. The following measures you can take require precaution, so take good backups first:
