After the ventura 13.6.9 update autojoin wifi has stopped

I updated to ventura 13.6.9 today and my laptop doesn't autojoin known networks any more.


MacBook Pro 13-inch, 2017


Also keyboard brightness was off. I had to turn off adjust brightness in low light to see it at all.


Also touchbar is off and doesn't work any more.

Give this a try: boot into Safe Mode according to How to use safe mode on your Mac and test to see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and test again.


NOTE 1: Safe Mode boot can take up to 3 - 5 minutes as it's doing the following; 

• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed

• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)

• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically

• Disables user-installed fonts 

• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files


NOTE 2: if you have a wireless keyboard with rechargeable batteries connect it with its charging cable before booting into Safe Mode. This makes it act as a wired keyboard as will insure a successful boot into Safe Mode.
