Microsoft Wireless client stopped working, Intel client works.. How to correct?

Question

This is an odd problem. For some reason my inspiron 9300 stopped connecting via wireless all of a sudden. The compute icon would say that several networks were in range but when I click on the icon none were shown. Wireless zero is in automatic. When I switched over to the Intell wireless client it works. I shows all the networks and allows me to connect.   How can I get the Windows client working again?   Thanks...

Sometimes things get messed up for no apparent reason.

Try stopping, then restarting WZC service.

If that doesn't work, leave it set to automatic and reboot.

[Make sure that the Intel wireless client is not set to manage the connection. If it is, it will stop Windows WZC service].

Hello,   Thanks for the input. I have tried this several times. I've switched back and forth. I'll try again though just in case 54's is a charm...
