Wireless network crashes Windows 7 Explorer

This is a very annoying problem. Some users found that Win7 Explorer hangs directly when they connect to the wireless network under Windows 7.

Microsoft specifically issued an official explanation: In some specific cases, when a user tries to connect to a wireless network, there is indeed a resource manager crash. The user clicks on the wireless icon in the notification area in the lower right corner of the taskbar, and this is the case when a wireless network connection is selected, and may also cause Windows 7 to restart. In the event of this failure, an error message will be logged to the system's application log. You can see this error message at the bottom of this article. Of course, you can also use Microsoft's official description page (kb979244) or below this article. see.

What the hell is this? The reason is very simple. The number of wireless connections that the user can select exceeds five, which may cause this problem. However, many times, our neighbors have a bunch of wireless networks listed in the bottom right corner of the wireless network connection...

So far, Microsoft software giant has not provided any solution to this problem, Vaguely said: no problem with less than five wireless connections.

However, I believe Microsoft will provide HotFix hot fixes as soon as possible, or solve this problem when Win7 SP1 is released.
