Windows Connect Now - Config Registrar

Default Description:

WCNCSVC hosts the Windows Connect Now Configuration which is Microsoft's Implementation of Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) protocol. This is used to configure Wireless LAN settings for an Access Point (AP) or a Wi-Fi Device. The service is started programmatically as needed.

Additional Information:

The first time you connect to a compatible Wireless router, Windows 7 will step through all the necessary setup tasks to make connecting wirelessly "easier". If you do not have a wireless network or your particular model does not have the "Compatible with Windows 7" logo, this service can safely be disabled.
