  2. Wireless connection is not queried by an application that uses the GetConnectionProfiles method in Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2

Wireless connection is not queried by an application that uses the GetConnectionProfiles method in Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Assume that you run an application that uses temporary profiles to set up a wireless connection on a computer that's running Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2. Then, you run another application that uses the GetConnectionProfiles method to query the connection. In this situation, the method does not enumerate connections that are using temporary profiles. Therefore, the retrieved list does not display the active wireless connection.
