Wifi on MacBook will not turn on

Hi all, my MacBook Pro (13-Inch, 2017, running macOS Sierra version 10.12.6) will not allow me to turn my WiFi on. Every time I click the WiFi icon on the top right corner of my screen and click “Turn WiFi On” my MacBook stops and shows a black screen that says “Your computer restarted because of a problem. Press a key or wait a few seconds before starting up.” Then, it loads up my home screen again, and I try to turn the WiFi on and it does the same thing over and over again. I’ve tried turning my WiFi on from different places such as going to network diagnostics but the same issue arises. I’ve even tried resetting my SMC as well and still there is no solution.


Please help me to solve this issue. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Try setting up another admin user account in System Preferences/Users & Groups to see if the same problem continues. Please post back on whether or not this worked. Also try the Safe Mode. Please post back on whether or not this worked.
