The WLAN AutoConfig service(wlansvc) in my MAC book Air laptop running Windows 7(32 bit) with SP1 runs in automatic startup setting only if safe start is given to the machine. In normal start, the machine hangs forever at Applying computer settings… upon any restart attempt. This forces me to change the automatic setting to Manual or disabled setting, after which the computer restarts normally, but I am forced to manually start the service to connect my wireless connection.

Help would be greatly appreciated

Try a clean boot to isolate the problematic program or service. 2. Update Drivers and Software: - Ensure that all your system drivers and software are up to date, especially the network adapter driver. Visit the MacBook Air support website to download the latest drivers. 3. System File Checker (SFC) Scan: - Run an SFC scan to check...

System File Checker (SFC) Scan: - Run an SFC scan to check for and repair any corrupted system files that might be causing the issue. 4. Check Event Viewer Logs: - Look at the Event Viewer logs for any relevant error messages or warnings that might provide clues about the issue. 5. Disable Unused Network Adapters: - If you have any unused network adapters (e.g., virtual adapters), consider disabling them to prevent conflicts. 6. Reset Network Settings: - Try resetting the network settings on your MacBook Air by disabling and then enabling the network adapter in the Device Manager. 7. System Restore: - If the issue started recently, consider using System Restore to revert your system to a point before the problem occurred. 8. Third-Party Software: - Check for any third-party security software or utilities that may be interfering with network connections. Temporarily disable them for testing. 9. Safe Startup: - If starting in Safe Mode allows the WLAN AutoConfig service to run, investigate any recently installed programs or updates that could be causing the issue. 10. Windows Updates: - Make sure your Windows 7 installation is up to date with the latest Windows updates. By following these steps, you may be able to diagnose and resolve the issue with the WLAN AutoConfig service hanging during startup on your Windows 7 installation on your MacBook Air.
