If you cannot disable network connections what causes this and how can we fix the problem?
When we cannot disable network connections this can cause all kinds of havoc, the main issue I have is the inability to get off of WiFi when I want to only connect to a faster wired connection.
To resolve the issue the following can help
- Of course restarting Windows is the first fix to try.
- Remove and reinstall both Wired and WiFI cards
- Check in the BIOS of your computer if it has the plug and play operating systems option make sure it is enabled for the operating system.
- Check with your network cards manufacturer to see if there is a newer version of your current network card drivers, if not make sure the drivers are actually replaced and not simply reinstalled using the original.
If you find none of these solutions work for you there is a nifty little workaround, it consists of creating two batch files one that disables the connection from the services screen and the other that simply enables it.
I’ll only do this for the WiFI connection as the wired connection is in effect disabled as soon as the cable is removed.
Open notepad and type the following
Net stop WZCSVC
Save the file as StopWiFi.bat to your desktop
Open notepage again and type the following
Net start WZCSVC
Save the file as StartWiFI.bat
Now simply click on each to stop or start the WiFi service
