    Does anyone use this? I went in there today and found I had 110 Application Errors looking like the below. What does it mean? Never heard of WPN before though looks related to the wireless - but my wireless is working fine.

    I love AlienAutopsy! Its BSOD diagnosis is amazing! Better than any other program I've seen.

    I think WPN could relate to your bluetooth card. Try disabling it or updating software (from M17x R2 drivers page).

    This is what a wireless problem looks like

    Thanks I tried disabling the Bluetooth card but still got another 3 WPN warnings (up to 165 today now!) Any other ideas? Guess if I am not noticing anything wrong and all the system checks etc. are passed it cant be anything serious

    Could this be windows push notifications?

    Or could be wireless protocol network - having trouble narrowing this down as I cannot actually see a problem

    The wireless Broadcom one. But it works fine as far as I can see - good stable connections and it passed all the autopsy tests on it too. Could it be trying to connect to other networks or could it be the wired one? Any ideas?

    Definitely some kind of internet relation - I turned airplane mode on and then tried wired, got some errors, left it all disconnected, no errors and now just turned wifi back on and got errors again

    Also appears in my dxdiag. Please can someone with an AW17 check their autopsy to see if they have it too?

    I get no such errors. What could be happening with you is that your AW is trying to connect to your internet as soon as it turns on windows, then it fails to connect, then it retries the connection until it connects. My guess is that the problem is on your router's end, if not you can try another wireless card, or scub and reinstall your drivers, or you could always ignore it and just clean out "windows error reports" at least once a week.

    I guess if it isn't causing me any noticeable issues then no point in going through all that. Must be my router as it happens whether on wireless or wired. Maybe I should test it at a different house. Also it was called "information" in the windows event viewer

    Both could be the situation, but I would not worry if no noticeable issue is present.
