      • Locate the "Network List Service" in the list, right-click on it, and select "Restart."
    []Check Dependencies:
    • Ensure that the service dependencies for the Network List Service are also running. This can include services like "Remote Procedure Call (RPC)" and "DCOM Server Process Launcher."
    [    ]Run Network Troubleshooter:
    • Windows includes a built-in Network Troubleshooter that can help diagnose and fix common network issues. To run it:
      • Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Internet Connections.

      • Press Win + R, type gpedit.msc, and press Enter.
      • Navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Network > Network Connections and check for any policies affecting network services.
    [    ]Check System Files:
    • Run a system file check to scan and repair any corrupted system files that could be causing the issue. Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run:
      Code: 
       sfc /scannow
    []Check for Windows Updates:
    • Ensure your system is up to date with the latest Windows updates as these updates can often include fixes for known issues.
    [    ]Check Event Viewer:
    • Check the Windows Event Viewer for any relevant error messages related to the Network List Service. It might provide more insight into what's causing the problem.

    • Sometimes a simple reboot can resolve various system issues by resetting services and configurations. Try these steps and see if they help resolve the issue with the Network and Sharing Center on your Windows system. If the issue persists, let me know so we can explore further solutions.
