As the title says, I am having some trouble on my Windows 8.1 Enterprise HP Laptop.
I have found that recently the WLAN Autoconfig service randomly stops, normally once per day, preventing me from accessing the internet.

Here are the "services terminated unexpectedly" that appear in Event Viewer:
Windows Audio Endpoint Builder
Device Association Service
Wired AutoConfig
Human Interface Device
Network Connection Broker
Program Compatibility Assistant
Superfetch
Distributed Link Tracking Client
Remote Desktop Services UserMode Port Redirector
Diagnostic System Host
WLAN AutoConfig
Windows Driver Foundation - User-mode Driver Framework

Can anyone help me with this issue? Cheers
PS. If I update my Intel Network drivers, does my computer forget my WiFi passwords?
 
I found that this problem only happens immediately after installing a program. For example, this morning I installed Skype and 30 seconds after it finished the services in the previous post were "terminated unexpectedly".

Event Viewer also said the following:

A service was installed in the system.
Service Name: Skype Click to Call PNR Service
Service File Name: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Toolbars\PNRSvc\SkypeC2CPNRSvc.exe" /service
Service Type: user mode service
Service Start Type: auto start
Service Account: NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService

A service was installed in the system.
Service Name: Skype Click to Call Updater
Service File Name: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Toolbars\AutoUpdate\SkypeC2CAutoUpdateSvc.exe" /service
Service Type: user mode service
Service Start Type: auto start
Service Account: LocalSystem

A service was installed in the system.
Service Name: Skype Updater
Service File Name: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Updater\Updater.exe"
Service Type: user mode service
Service Start Type: auto start
Service Account: LocalSystem

Like I said in my previous post, if I update my Intel Network drivers, does my computer forget my WiFi passwords? Cheers
