Hey guys, recently after plugging my modem ethernet cable back from my laptop into my desktop my wireless started having problems, the internet on the desktop works fine just not the wireless connection on any of the two laptops i have. When i go to "Network and Sharing Center" on any of the two laptops, instead of showing the network map it just shows "unknown" and "the dependency service or group failed to start" below that.
I've tried CMD suggestions like: "netsh winsock reset catalog", which is successful but seems to do nothing and "netsh int ip reset reset.log hit" but i get an "access denied" message
i checked which services were running and "network location awareness service" has stopped and fails to start when i try. Any clue as to what could be causing this as its basically the same on both laptops as they use the same wireless connection.
when i check the wifi status it shows both the IPv4 & IPv6 connectivity as Not Connected
