Issue when scanning or connecting: list index out of range

I'm trying to simply disconnect my computer from WiFi and reconnect it every morning, and when I try to connect to a network, I get this error.

Exception in thread Thread-1: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\lthaw\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\threading.py", line 954, in _bootstrap_inner self.run() File "C:\Users\lthaw\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\threading.py", line 892, in run self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs) File "C:\Users\lthaw\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\subprocess.py", line 1475, in _readerthread buffer.append(fh.read()) File "C:\Users\lthaw\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\codecs.py", line 322, in decode (result, consumed) = self._buffer_decode(data, self.errors, final) UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x83 in position 10826: invalid start byte Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:/Users/lthaw/Desktop/wifi test 3.py", line 3, in winwifi.WinWiFi.scan() File "C:\Users\lthaw\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\winwifi\main.py", line 162, in scan cp: subprocess.CompletedProcess = cls.netsh(['wlan', 'show', 'networks', 'mode=bssid']) File "C:\Users\lthaw\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\winwifi\main.py", line 98, in netsh return subprocess.run( File "C:\Users\lthaw\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\subprocess.py", line 503, in run stdout, stderr = process.communicate(input, timeout=timeout) File "C:\Users\lthaw\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\subprocess.py", line 1130, in communicate stdout, stderr = self._communicate(input, endtime, timeout) File "C:\Users\lthaw\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\subprocess.py", line 1525, in _communicate stdout = stdout[0] IndexError: list index out of range

I'm rather inexperienced with Python overall, I've taken some college courses and that's about it. Any help would be appreciated.
