Question

See more:

In .NET C#, we can identify network availability changes by calling this event

NetworkChange.NetworkAvailabilityChanged += AvailabilityChanged;

But how to know is WIFI disconnected from Laptop manual or because of other technical issues.
Let me know any registry Key is related to WIFI connect/disconnect button

We can Identify Airplane mode changes by

RegistryKey key = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(@"SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\RadioManagement\SystemRadioState")

Is there anyway to identify button click on wifi connect/disconnect ?

What I have tried:

Tried event capture

NetworkAvailabilityChanged

, But it is triggering while manual or not. Both scenarios.

You can't - it doesn't know or care why the WiFi no longer works, just that the device is no longer connected.

Think about it: the phone line could have failed, the power gone, the router burst into flames, the user unplugged the router, he took the laptop into the garden, or even perhaps he is switching to a "better" WiFi in the cafe next door. Nobody knows what caused a disconnection, and you can't find out!

If you want "more", you need to relate any log information with one of your "incidents", and go from there.

Once you notice a "pattern", you can program for it.
