No Network/Internet and Sound. #270

Closed UnPossible-Me closed 3 years ago

Capture Capture1

I just executed the scripts and as the title says, I can't simply cannot access any sort of network and speaker. I've attached images of both so one id confused with "not found" or something.

In sound settings, it wont detect the laptops inbuilt speakers. troubleshooter returns nothing. In network, no internet, hotspot, vpn, etc. Once again troubleshooter is useless.

  1. I've reinstalled drivers, no luck.
  2. I have NOT run the experimental unfuckery file.
  3. I've attempted to restart WLAN Autoconfig, it gives me error code 1068:The dependency service or group failed to start

Also as a side note, I've lost the ability to control brightness. It's stuck at what I believe is max.

I'm assuming the problem is that the scripts removed a bit too much and now I no longer have the required processes. Can anybody please help me?

Hey, this seems to be a rather serious issue and the first time I've heard about it.

Can you re-enable all the services that get disabled with disable-services.ps1, reboot, and try again.

Apart from that, do your speakers still show up in Device Manager?

W4RH4WK commented 3 years ago

The optimize-user-interface.ps1 has a section where it tries to restore the old volume slider. Maybe this causes the sound device to disappear.

On a fresh install this key does not exist: HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\MTCUVC

W4RH4WK commented 3 years ago

Regarding WiFi, there are settings that force disable WiFi network sharing, which could cause issues with the network connection.

Thanks for the response and tips,

Unfortunately they did not work, I re-enabled all except the three I just couldn't find:

  1. "ndu" # Windows Network Data Usage Monitor

  2. "wscsvc" # Windows Security Center Service (This shouldn't have been disabled as it's commented, but it didn't exist in servies.

  3. "DiagTrack" # Diagnostics Tracking Service

Yes my speakers still do show up in device manager! When I attempt to start sound I get: This computer cannot play audio as windows audio service is not enabled Trying to start windows audio service I once again recieve, Error 1068:The dependency service or group failed to start

In regard to the other comments: I tried to disable the old slider, didn't fix anything. If its important the key HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\MTCUVC did exist on my machine.

I also looked into the WiFi fix you recommended, but with no luck.

Side Note 2: I've managed to revive the brightness slider by enabling a service, I think it was screen something. But the slider simply exists with actually reducing or increasing brightness

As you said, it is a serious issue as I could perhaps live without sound, but no internet really kills me, especially on a laptop. Will preforming a reset(keeping all files) fix issues?

W4RH4WK commented 3 years ago

Okay, if re-enabling the services did not work you probably have to reinstall. I am sorry for the inconvenience. I'll add a note at the top of the README regarding this issue.

Reinstall as in reinstall Windows? I have a bootable USB drive with a copy of Windows 10, you're suggesting I use that? Or would this be better https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10startfresh Also there is no need to be sorry at all, you did mention that it might break the system and use it with cation. It sadly did not work for me. Its a shame really, the numbers were fantastic, I went from 60% on idle to 30% memory was freed up by a couple hundred MB.

W4RH4WK commented 3 years ago

Yes, I meant reinstalling Windows. It's the safest option to ensure everything is working properly.

You can create a bootable USB drive using Microsoft's Media Creation Tool. It will download the latest release of the Windows 10 installer and write it the USB drive.

Alright will do, thank you once again for the support

I'll keep this issue open until we either have a fix or no one else reports similar issues within the next weeks.

Oh okay, sorry for that, I thought I should close it since I got a solution.

UPDATE:

Because I'm stupidly persistent and don't learn, I decided to try it again after performing a fresh install. (How much worse can it get?) For a fresh install a few things I found out:

  1. Windows Reset, Update, Recovery, Restore Points, etc. will NOT work.
  2. Windows Media Creation Tool will NOT work.
  3. There is no Ethernet either so you need a phone/secondary machine to download stuff. What I used: Download the official ISO from Microsoft and use something like Rufus to create a bootable disk/drive. Also you will need to format the boot partition (normally C:) and then install windows on it. If you face activation issues after installation, you can always use an activator.

I re-ran all scripts except the unfuckery one, and.... they work! (Mostly)

  1. Some functions of Windows Defender are left behind.
  2. Some default apps are present. (Eg. Solitare)
  3. Search works just fine, nothing is broken or removed
  4. Wired headphones will NOT work with the old volume slider, there is a method in the 2nd comment to bring back the original, just apply and restart.

Couple of reasons (I think) my previous attempt could have and to watch out for:

  1. If there are multiple accounts, it doesn't work so well, breaking stuff in some. It's best if there is only 1.
  2. I used a local account this time rather than one connected to the cloud, removing Onedrive and other dependencies can't be good.

Hope this helps.

Hello, I've had the same problem with my network not working

After a few attempts of resetting and debloating, I've found that removing

W4RH4WK commented 3 years ago

@ivancheng111 Thank you very much for going through the testing process. It sounds reasonable as this setting is related to networking. I'll comment them out with a notice.

Could be. As I have seen on my 2004 edition, the Wi-Fi Sense is not there anymore.

Yes, actually, during some tries "Network Discovery" gets permanently disabled

Removing https://github.com/W4RH4WK/Debloat-Windows-10/blob/master/scripts/fix-privacy-settings.ps1#L109-L115 Does not seem to help

After that attempt, I disabled my wifi adapter and turned off "Network Discovery" in the "Advanced Sharing Settings" before running the scripts, then manually turning them back on, which seemed to work fine

Also, during that attempt, I had my wifi adapter driver and a bunch of other drivers pending for a reboot, so during the next attempt, I made sure to install my drivers and reboot first(totally my mistake)

All in all, I had to reinstall Windows 4 times-

  1. Network stopped working
  2. Tweaked the scripts a bit to find the problem(which didn't work), and Network still didn't work
  3. Found this issue and tried it out which worked, but "Network Discovery" stops working
  4. I made sure to disable my wifi adapter and made sure I had no pending reboots(for drivers), which seemed to work fine

I've never had any sound problems on any attempts thou

I've just encountered a similar issue, brightness stopped working. I had to re-enable NVIDIA Display Container LS service.
