Do you experience frequent problems with your Windows 11 laptop detecting wireless connections? If your answer is yes, I recommend you check the status of the WLAN AutoConfig service. WLAN AutoConfig service ( WLANSVC ) helps Windows computers discover a wireless network (802.11 standards) and connect to it. The duty of this service is the same function as Wireless Zero Configuration(WZC) in Windows XP. In my personal experience, we can fix most wireless connectivity issues by starting the WLAN AutoConfig service instead of vendor wireless utilities on a computer. Windows 11, 10, and Vista devices use the WLANSVC service to manage wireless networks, and you can find it on the services window under the display name WLAN Autoconfig. Sometimes WLAN AutoConfig does not start automatically for some strange reasons. It creates issues with detecting WiFi networks. The quick solution is to restart this service. So we may need to go to the service page and starts this service

Microsoft Notepad is a default text writing tool in Windows Operating System. Though it is a helpful app, people don't give much importance to it if they have Microsoft Office installed on their PCs. Even though Microsoft Office and Open Office tools offer many features, they cannot replace the Microsoft Notepad. People understand its importance only when they cannot use it. The same happened to me too. Yesterday night one of my friends played his computer skills on various software products installed on my computer. By the end of his experiments, the Microsoft Notepad failed to work. He said that he didn't remember the changes he made. At first, I thought it was not a big deal because a simple reset can restore the default settings. I tried to reset the current configuration using the reset button. Sooner I found out that there was no such option. Now I learned the bitter truth there is no direct reset option in notepad. The only way to reset the Microsoft note
