internet solution is net stop wifi zero config , but net dont support it any more but intels zeroconf looks the replacement.

im retired enjoy my duyan with laptop far from my house, but extender give me gud connection.

stress full to manually reset wifi and or radio during relax.

there is no use to let zeroconfig running.

i just start up my laptop and all works fine even zeroconfig is not running.

but more important 2 problems seems to be solved by stopping zeroconfig

- weird short soft sound frequently disturbing the music (like in the old days speaker wire touching not welt)

- disconnect reduced

so why is zeroconfig running no benefits but several problems including bsod

Hello wififrustrated,

The Intel® zeroconfig service helps maintain reliable WiFi connections in areas with radio frequency difficulties by monitoring the link status. This service is also used to manage network profiles, as well as other advanced settings. However, this is only intended to be used with our adapters.

- Was your Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165 replaced by another Intel® adapter, or a non-Intel® model?

If it was replaced by a non-Intel® adapter, our best recommendation will be to uninstall the any instance of the "Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software" under Programs and Features in the Control Panel, or through Apps & Features in the Windows® 10 settings menu. This should remove our services from your system, and the default Windows® 10 autoconfig tool will take over automatically.

If your adapter was replaced for another Intel® adapter, you may try a clean installation switching to driver only. This will update your drivers without including any additional software:

1. Download and extract our latest IT Admin driver for your adapter and OS: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/2731 WiFi_20.10.2_Driver64_Win10.zip

2. Under Programs and Features in the Control Panel, uninstall any instance of the "Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software." When prompted, choose to "discard settings."

3. Go to the Device Manager > Network Adapters > Right click on your Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160/3165/7265/8260 (as applicable) and uninstall it. Make sure to mark the option to "Delete the driver software for this device."

4. Clear out your temporary files: Press the Windows* Key + R to open the run box. Type Cleanmgr.exe and press OK. Here you will need to make sure Temporary Files are checked, you may uncheck everything else (unless you're ok with the extra wait) and press OK.

5. Go to the Device Manager > Network Adapters > Right click on your Intel® Wireless Adapter again, this time choose to "Update driver software..." > Select the option to "Locate and install driver software manually." Here you will need to direct the wizard to the location where you extracted the IT Admin package back in step one.

6. Reboot your computer.

Best regards,

Carlos A.
