Looks like I have too many disabled Windows services that it fails to start WLAN AutoConfig service, which services needs to be enabled before I can enable WLAN AutoConfig service?

Thanks for advance dear friends.

Check if you have disabled "Wlansvc" if yes, try to set this one to manual and then try. Also check RPC this should be set to Automatic and (EAP) should be set to "Manual"

You mean via regedit like this:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Wlansvc

And DWORD called Start, should I change its value to 1, it's now set to 4.

Just run services.msc and scroll down to WLAN Autoconfig and set it to manual. ;-)

But if I want to use this service it does not start because I have disabled services, so I can't use Wlan.

I thought to create a hotspot with cmd and without any 3rd party software, but I need Wlan service for that and it has to be running I think at least.

If you have disabled the services in pre-install environment then you better use registries but if you are talking about your live OS then by simple going to Start>Run>Services.msc you can enable the services.
You need to set the dword to 2 not 1

Registry should be like this:
Code: Select allWindows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Wlansvc]
"Start"=dword:00000002

I could not start Extensible Authentication Protocol service, it gave me exactly the same error message what I got when I tried to start WLAN AutoConfig service, RPC Endpoint Mapper service was set to Automatic and it was running.
