YOUR QUESTION :

How to solve the wifi adapter problem ?

YOUR ANSWER :

After 2+ hours of browsing the internet, trying out all the top google hits to fix the aforementioned issue and finally fixing it; here are my two cents -

Background:

After a benign looking windows update available for my Lenovo ideapad 500S running the Windows10 OS, I could no longer connect my bluetooth speakers to my laptop. In addition to it, I could no longer see any hint of ‘bluetooth’ in either the control panel or the device manager. Being a noob with computers, it took me quite some time to fix this issue. The joy though was short-lived when I discovered that now my WiFi is missing, when i tried to proceed the conventional way to solve this issue, I found the ‘network and sharing’ folder to be blank and it had the following message displayed - ‘The dependency service or group failed to start’ thanks to the extensive online community I spent nearly 2+ hours reading up and trying ways to fix it. After trying out 8+ ways to fix the issue and 3 restarts later I could finally connect to the internet through my laptop’s WiFi.

Resolution:

Leaving out all the geeky stuff for a tech resolution blog, in simple words I figured out this error message pops up because ‘localservice’ and ‘networkservice’ which are key in establishing connection with the internet have been removed from your administrator group and your user group no longer has the access to start the ‘diagnostic policy service’ that helps with the resolution of these errors in the conventional way. To fix this all we need to do is add them back by following the steps below -

1) Open Command Prompt(Admin)

2) Type the following two commands at the command prompt -

• a) net localgroup administratorslocalservice /add

• b) net localgroup administratorsnetworkservice /add

3) Close the Command Prompt

4) Restart your computer

Post the restart you should be able to connect to the internet using your computer’s WiFi.
