Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You connect to a Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) by using a mobile broadband modem on a computer that is running Windows 7.

  • The computer enters sleep mode.

  • You resume the computer from sleep.

In this scenario, the WWAN AutoConfig service may stop responding. When this issue occurs, you cannot connect to the WWAN. You cannot restart the service, and you must restart the computer to recover from this issue.

Cause

This issue occurs because of a deadlock in the WWAN AutoConfig service that is caused by a timing issue.
