My WLAN stopped working. I tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling again. After googling found that WLAN AutoConfig(RUN-->services.msc) is not running. When I tried to start the service ,I am getting the error as  rror1206:The network connection profile is corrupted." Didn't get the solution till now.Any help would be high appreciated.

I am using window 8.

Hi

When this issue start happen?

Is there any changes? HW, SW or OS before this issue happen

Can you tell us your PC spec?

Error 1206 - Error Code 0x4B6

Windows Error Code 1206: 'ERROR_BAD_PROFILE'

Description of ErrorThe network connection profile is corrupted.

Errors on your system may be caused by invalid registry entries and outdated or corrupt drivers

I suggest you update your driver, I suspected your PC quite old or not comes with windows 8 so you need update the driver. You can find update at your PC (if OEM), Mainboard or WLan site

did you try to delete the old profile, start the service and make the new one ?

PC spec: 4GB RAM,intel core i5 processor@2.50GHz,
PC is one year old(not too old).  I have updated the driver from manufacturer site(DELL). It was working fine till Sunday.

Hi,

How to do that? 

netsh wlan delete profile name="ProfileName"

It is not showing any profile. It is giving message "The wireless autoconfig service is not running".

go to manage wireless network and check if there is any wireless network listed,  remove it and restart ur pc.. uninstall and re-install wireless network adapter from Device Manager.. install the latest wireless drivers and check if that fixes the issue.

 

Hi

after you updated the driver, everything working fine right?

Please let me know if you have another issue
