I'm not certain, but I suspect that system restore won't store wifi connection information, so you'll have to reenter the SSIDs to get those stored ones back. If they're not hidden wifi SSIDs, and they're not showing up now, then that's another matter.

As for the selective startup turning off wifi; that could be down to a service not being enabled during the selective startup that the wifi needs to function. You will have to see what services are enabled, set to automatic, or disabled, and see if any are needed for wifi functionality.

If you don't know what to look for in the list of services during selective startup then open a command window by typing "cmd" in the search bar in windows, then clicking the cmd.exe link that appears. Type "sc query state= all > services.txt" in the command window to create a text file of all services. You can find the file inside your user folder in your main HDD.

You can cut and paste the text from that file in to a PM and send it to me, or just paste it in to here.
