Is the wired autoconfig enabled by default in the windows-2022 runner or is it disabled too?

@Kichura, wired autoconfig is different from wlan autoconfig. I tried enabling wlan autoconfig in GitHub hosted Windows runner but need to reboot

I rather wanna ask it anyways in case this does get missed, although i do approve that wlan autoconfig should be considered upon since having it be disabled can cause specific test programs to fail.

Can you assign me for this issue? @mikhailkoliada
I think we just add this feature to the toolset and start it when the application needs it.
