WIFI device not detected after installing Windows updates.

Original title: WiFi stops working when loading Windows (Win7).

After that the last series of Win7 update is more my Wi - Fi works.

My computer is the only one in the affected House. Wi - Fi is on (the radio light is on) when you start up loads of Windows, and then he went. More my factory installed Atheros wireless network card is no longer visible in the device, only the Ju Fast Ethenet controller Marvell Manager. I have re-installed the Atheros driver in the hope that the system would then find the device. No luck. Even the F8 key is operable, so using the FN + F8 key to activate the Wi - Fi is a bust.

We know that the camera is good, but Windows doesn't see a reason any. This seems to be a matter of Win7 and not a hardware problem.

  • Please let know us if there is a FIX to this problem - I spent the last 4 days of research on this and I'm not alone.
  • I can re - install Win7 or y at - it a patch that I can use? With the help of a cable Ethernet is well when you're used to a Wi - Fi connection!

Toshiba Satellite P305D-S8818

Method 1: Run the Microsoft fixit

Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

Method 3: Clean boot

Please please help

    It is not possible for me to every time the format of the system

    kindly, please give solution.

    My system is connected to the network with 3 PCs and all are licensed copy.

    Hello

    Welcome to the Forums Community Microsoft and thanks for posting the question.

    According to the description, you get an error message "FAILED CONNECTION USER INIT" after installing Windows updates.

    From my research, this problem occurs if the Userinit key in the Windows registry has been changed. For example, this problem may occur if the Userinit key has a value, but no binary data.

    I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below.

    Method 1:

    Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    Step 2: Check the value and binary Userinit registry data

    Important: The following instructions contain the steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information, view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    Back up the registry
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/back-up-the-registry

    a. start Registry Editor. To do this, click Start, type regedit in the search box and press ENTER.

    b. click continue.

    c. Locate and then click the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

    d. in the right pane, right-click Userinit, and then click change.

    e. in the value data box, type hard disk:\Windows\System32\userinit.exe, and then click OK.

    Note: The placeholder of the hard drive refers to the drive on which Windows Vista is installed.

    f. close the registry editor.

    g. restart the computer.

    Method 2:

    Restore the system to an earlier point before installing this application.

    System Restore can return your files system to a point in time before you noticed a problem, without affecting documents, photos, or other personal files. If the system restore does not resolve the problem, you can undo the restore operation and choose a different restore point.
