Troubleshoot Windows 10 client


Microsoft regularly releases both updates for Windows Server. To ensure your servers can receive future updates, including security updates, it's important to keep your servers updated. Check out for a complete list of released updates.
This section contains advanced troubleshooting topics and links to help you resolve issues with Windows 10 in an enterprise or IT pro environment. Additional topics will be added as they become available.

Troubleshoot 802.1x Authentication

Overview

This is a general troubleshooting of 802.1X wireless and wired clients. With 802.1X and wireless troubleshooting, it's important to know how the flow of authentication works, and then figuring out where it's breaking. It involves a lot of third party devices and software. Most of the time, we have to identify where the problem is, and another vendor has to fix it. Since we don't make access points or switches, it won't be an end-to-end Microsoft solution.

Scenarios

This troubleshooting technique applies to any scenario in which wireless or wired connections with 802.1X authentication is attempted and then fails to establish. The workflow covers Windows 7 - 10 for clients, and Windows Server 2008 R2 - 2012 R2 for NPS.

Known Issues

None

Data Collection

Troubleshooting

Viewing NPS authentication status events in the Windows Security event log is one of the most useful troubleshooting methods to obtain information about failed authentications.
NPS event log entries contain information on the connection attempt, including the name of the connection request policy that matched the connection attempt and the network policy that accepted or rejected the connection attempt. If you are not seeing both success and failure events, see the section below on NPS audit policy.
Check Windows Security Event log on the NPS Server for NPS events corresponding to rejected (event ID 6273) or accepted (event ID 6272) connection attempts.
‎The WLAN AutoConfig operational log lists information and error events based on conditions detected by or reported to the WLAN AutoConfig service. The operational log contains information about the wireless network adapter, the properties of the wireless connection profile, the specified network authentication, and, in the event of connectivity problems, the reason for the failure. For wired network access, Wired AutoConfig operational log is equivalent one.
On the client side, navigate to Event Viewer (Local)\Applications and Services Logs\Microsoft\Windows\WLAN-AutoConfig/Operational for wireless issues. For wired network access issues, navigate to ..\Wired-AutoConfig/Operational. See the following example:
event viewer screenshot showing wired-autoconfig and WLAN autoconfig
Most 802.1X authentication issues are due to problems with the certificate that is used for client or server authentication (e.g. invalid certificate, expiration, chain verification failure, revocation check failure, etc.).
First, validate the type of EAP method being used:
eap authentication type comparison
If a certificate is used for its authentication method, check if the certificate is valid. For server (NPS) side, you can confirm what certificate is being used from the EAP property menu. In NPS snap-in, go to Policies > Network Policies. Right click on the policy and select Properties. In the pop-up window, go to the Constraints tab and select the Authentication Methods section.
Constraints tab of the secure wireless connections properties
The CAPI2 event log will be useful for troubleshooting certificate-related issues. This log is not enabled by default. You can enable this log by expanding Event Viewer (Local)\Applications and Services Logs\Microsoft\Windows\CAPI2, right-clicking Operational and then clicking Enable Log.

Data collection for troubleshooting 802.1X authentication

Use the following steps to collect data that can be used to troubleshoot 802.1X authentication issues. When you have collected data, see Advanced troubleshooting 802.1X authentication.

Capture wireless/wired functionality logs

Use the following steps to collect wireless and wired logs on Windows and Windows Server:
  1. Create C:\MSLOG on the client machine to store captured logs.
  2. Launch an elevated command prompt on the client machine, and run the following commands to start a RAS trace log and a Wireless/Wired scenario log.
    Wireless Windows 8.1 and Windows 10:
    netsh ras set tracing * enabled
    netsh trace start scenario=wlan,wlan_wpp,wlan_dbg,wireless_dbg globallevel=0xff capture=yes maxsize=1024 tracefile=C:\MSLOG\%COMPUTERNAME%_wireless_cli.etl
    

    Wireless Windows 7 and Windows 8:
    netsh ras set tracing * enabled
    netsh trace start scenario=wlan,wlan_wpp,wlan_dbg globallevel=0xff capture=yes maxsize=1024 tracefile=C:\MSLOG\%COMPUTERNAME%_wireless_cli.etl
    

    Wired client, regardless of version
    netsh ras set tracing * enabled
    netsh trace start scenario=lan globallevel=0xff capture=yes maxsize=1024 tracefile=C:\MSLOG\%COMPUTERNAME%_wired_cli.etl
    
  3. Run the following command to enable CAPI2 logging and increase the size :
    wevtutil.exe sl Microsoft-Windows-CAPI2/Operational /e:true
    wevtutil sl Microsoft-Windows-CAPI2/Operational /ms:104857600
    
  4. Create C:\MSLOG on the NPS to store captured logs.
  5. Launch an elevated command prompt on the NPS server and run the following commands to start a RAS trace log and a Wireless/Wired scenario log:
    Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016 wireless network:
    netsh ras set tracing * enabled
    netsh trace start scenario=wlan,wlan_wpp,wlan_dbg,wireless_dbg globallevel=0xff capture=yes maxsize=1024 tracefile=C:\MSLOG\%COMPUTERNAME%_wireless_nps.etl
    

    Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012 wireless network
    netsh ras set tracing * enabled
    netsh trace start scenario=wlan,wlan_wpp,wlan_dbg globallevel=0xff capture=yes maxsize=1024 tracefile=C:\MSLOG\%COMPUTERNAME%_wireless_nps.etl
    

    Wired network
    netsh ras set tracing * enabled
    netsh trace start scenario=lan globallevel=0xff capture=yes maxsize=1024 tracefile=C:\MSLOG\%COMPUTERNAME%_wired_nps.etl
    
  6. Run the following command to enable CAPI2 logging and increase the size :
     wevtutil.exe sl Microsoft-Windows-CAPI2/Operational /e:true
     wevtutil sl Microsoft-Windows-CAPI2/Operational /ms:104857600
    
  7. Run the following command from the command prompt on the client machine and start PSR to capture screen images:
     Note
    When the mouse button is clicked, the cursor will blink in red while capturing a screen image.
    psr /start /output c:\MSLOG\%computername%_psr.zip /maxsc 100
    
  8. Repro the issue.
  9. Run the following command on the client PC to stop the PSR capturing:
    psr /stop
    
  10. Run the following commands from the command prompt on the NPS server.
    • To stop RAS trace log and wireless scenario log:
      netsh trace stop
      netsh ras set tracing * disabled
      
    • To disable and copy CAPI2 log:
      wevtutil.exe sl Microsoft-Windows-CAPI2/Operational /e:false
      wevtutil.exe epl Microsoft-Windows-CAPI2/Operational C:\MSLOG\%COMPUTERNAME%_CAPI2.evtx
      
  11. Run the following commands on the client PC.
    • To stop RAS trace log and wireless scenario log:
      netsh trace stop
      netsh ras set tracing * disabled
      
    • To disable and copy the CAPI2 log:

      wevtutil.exe epl Microsoft-Windows-CAPI2/Operational C:\MSLOG\%COMPUTERNAME%_CAPI2.evtx
      
  12. Save the following logs on the client and the NPS:
    Client
