wifi not working - captive portal login screen does not appear

On upgrade to Catalina, the captive portal wifi login page no longer appears. Because of this I can no longer connect to public wifi portals.


Steps: Connect to a public wifi


Expected result: Captive network login dialog screen should appear


Actual result: Wifi shows as connected, but no login screen, and no internet access, no DNS resolution, not able to access any IPs on the network

It works if you delete every thing in the following 2 folders: /Library/LaunchDaemons and /Library/LaunchAgents

Turn off wifi. Restart computer. Turn on wifi. It should work.
