I can think of only two possible sources: a Some flavor of Malware very troubling b A bad update to the OS. In the way of background, my problem started shortly after trying to track down a possible virus infection suspected remnants from a Fake AV program , and running a bunch of updates including Windows 7 SP1 shortly after not finding anything more than tracking cookies.
Either it's a new virus with the ability to take control from TrustedInstaller I am very concerned if so , or one of the system files was scrambled during an OS update.
I will point to evidence of the contrary shortly. First, lets look at the registry. Go to Start, and type regedit. Again, likely need administrator privileges to proceed.
If one of the values is NOT 3, then change the value and try your wireless connection again. If this still fails, or the values are already set to 3, then it is time to go to Windows Explorer! If one of them is zeroed out, you get the problem we are having where everything appears fine, but the service fails to launch.
First, you can if you choose , use System Restore and attempt to fix the problem that way. In the case of a bad OS update, this should do the trick. If this is virus related, you have merely made a temporary fix as the true problem has now been put back to full strength. Assuming you are going to skip System Restore, you will need to take control of the corrupt file s from TrustedInstaller. But first, find a Windows 7 install with a working wireless connection and copy the zeroed out system files to a thumb drive.
Go back to your problem child device, make sure the default Administrator account is enabled. Click the Edit button, and change ownership to the default Administrator account. Be sure NOT to make the Administrators group the owner as this might create severe security risks for your computer. Go back to the Security tab, and click Edit to add the default Administrator to the Group or user names section. Give the default Administrator Full Control of the file s.
Now just copy and paste the file s from the thumb drive and replace the existing zeroed out file s. Once this is done, you will not be able to give ownership back to TrustedInstaller.
Log out from the Administrator's account, and disable it. Go back to services. You should see the service now listed as Started, and the wireless network icon should now appear in the System Tray. Welcome back, and many thanks to Barry Hubbard. Here is a link to his post on the issue:.
The chance is there, true, but looking at the files I found zeroed out, the Modified date was shown as back in With a wireless router, you can connect PCs to your network using radio signals instead of wires.
Wireless network adapter. A wireless network adapter is a device that connects your PC to a wireless network. To connect your portable or desktop PC to your wireless network, the PC must have a wireless network adapter. Most laptops and tablets—and some desktop PCs—come with a wireless network adapter already installed. Select Start , type device manager in the search box, and then select Device Manager. After you have all the equipment, you'll need to set up your modem and Internet connection.
If your modem wasn't set up for you by your Internet service provider ISP , follow the instructions that came with your modem to connect it to your PC and the Internet. If you're using cable, connect your modem to a cable jack.
Put your wireless router somewhere where it will receive the strongest signal with the least amount of interference. For better results, follow these tips:. Place your wireless router in a central location. Place the router as close to the center of your home as possible to increase the strength of the wireless signal throughout your home. Position the wireless router off the floor and away from walls and metal objects , such as metal file cabinets. The fewer physical obstructions between your PC and the router's signal, the more likely that you'll be using the router's full signal strength.
Reduce interference. Some networking equipment uses a 2. This is the same frequency as most microwaves and many cordless phones. If you turn on the microwave or get a call on a cordless phone, your wireless signal might be temporarily interrupted. Try to connect to the wireless connection and check the result. If the service still fails to start, then run system file checker tool to scan the computer for corrupt system files and fix them automatically.

Choose the Windows Mobility Center and click on it. You should see something similar to the one pictured here, although it may vary with different hardware.
Notice in the upper right corner the Wireless Network box. The status shows that the wireless is turned off and the button allows you to turn it on. Click on the "Turn wireless on" button and wait a few seconds so it can scan for available networks. Now look again in the lower right corner of the desktop, only look for the network icon. Looks like a monitor with a weird antenna on the left. Left-click on the Network icon and a popup menu should appear showing what network, if any, you are connected to at the top and below that, a list of available wireless networks.
When I click on the UHWireless network, the is a warning about information being visible to others, which is due to the UHWireless network not being encrypted.
