NPS Wireless Auth Stops Working: Code 65

If you use group membership as part of the Network Policy conditions for authenticating, make sure to use a Security Group and not a Distribution Group. Also make sure no one has changed it from a security group to distribution group!

Next check the user's account on AD has the Control access through NPS Network Policy selected in the Dial-in properties.

If that doesn't work, check the domain certificate hasn't expired and auto-renewed. If it has, request a new certificate on the NPS server, switch to the new cert, then back to the auto-renewed one.

Back up Windows 8 Jump Lists

Back up the files in the following folder. Do this for each user account on the computer.

%appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations
%appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\CustomDestinations

This will only preserve the pinned documents/shortcuts for the programs you have pinned to the task bar. You will need to re-pin the programs to the task bar first, for this to work
