WLan Reset

Post by Charger440 »

Fred, While you are bug hunting, I finally go the chance to try your WLAN reset fix and it does not work.

For it to work WLAN Auto config service needs to be stopped and it does not look like your doing that. I you are then I found a bug :)

Also, it does not look like it is deleting the WLan profiles correctly. When I went and did it manually two profiles were still there.

Let me know if you need any testing I will be glad to help you.

Thanks Jim. Yes, it is a bug. UVK sends the stop control to the service but does not wait for the service to stop before start deleting. It will be fixed in the next update.

If this was a bug fix in this version, It's still a bug... If not then carry on :)

I also noticed that when I stop the service and then run the fix again it still does not delete the profiles.

Crap! I didn't test it because I didn't want to delete my wifi profiles, and there was still a bug. This time I will test, promise.

Thanks Jim.

LOL Fred no problem :) You could always test it on a virtual box. It it will delete one, it should delete them all.

No, I can't Jim. My VMs don't have WIFI connections. Only LAN connections.

The path was missing a slash. You will probably found a new path created by the fix:
C:\ProgramDataMicrosoft\Wlansvc\Profiles\Interfaces

I'm pretty sure the LAN also has a similar profile....

I will check on that path and see...


LOL
Yep it was there. What was you doing? Creating an empty directory? I didn't think deleting would create a path if it didn't exist. Not a big deal, just curious...

Jim, LAN uses a totally different method.

To satisfy your curiosity (the one that killed the dog :)), you said:
Navigate to
"C: \ProgramData\Microsoft\Wlansvc\ delete everything in this folder leaving only a folder called "profiles" delete everything in the "profiles" folder except for a folder called "interfaces" delete everything in the "interfaces" folder)
This is the same as deleting the C: \ProgramData\Microsoft\Wlansvc dir and then create the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Wlansvc\Profiles\Interfaces one, which is what I'm doing.

That would make sense for that method.

I have noticed so far that
Navigate to
"C: \ProgramData\Microsoft\Wlansvc\ delete everything in this folder leaving only a folder called "profiles" delete everything in the "profiles" folder except for a folder called "interfaces" delete everything in the "interfaces" folder)
is a little lengthy. I have manually deleted a few times since I posted that (Surprisingly, since I rarely used until recently)and the only folder that has anything in it is "interfaces."

May be a good idea to keep your method as I suppose it's possible something could be in those other folders.

Yeah, this fix is very simple. From a batch it would make:

Code: Select all

@echo off
net stop Wlansvc
rd /s /q "%Programdata%\Microsoft\Wlansvc"
md  "%Programdata%\Microsoft\Wlansvc\Profiles\Interfaces"
net start Wlansvc
Just prepend

Code: Select all

<CmdScript> -h
and it will make a UVK script.

That info I posted I think was actually from MSDN I think. I have not created any script for it because you said you would add it right away. Didn't want to reinvent the wheel there :)

The way you have it though is simple and to the point. It also covers IF there is anything in the other folders at some point even though so far there has not been.

Yes, and I did, but I was too confident because it was easy. It only took me a few minutes to add the fix but I didn't test it. And it was broken. Twice.

Thanks Jim. It seems to happen only when I don't test a feature. Thankfully I don't have to do it often.
