DPS has no dependencies, but how can I find out if something depends on DPS?

I get start/stop messages regarding DPS in the SYSTEM event viewer, but I'm not sure what to be looking for there:
The Diagnostic Policy Service service entered the running state. (12/2/2013 9:07:27 PM)
The Diagnostic Policy Service service entered the stopped state. (12/2/2013 9:07:27 PM)
So it may not be a problem with DPS, but whatever service hooks in and uses it? The way I understand it, it now seems like the service works but DPS doesn't receive what it needs in order to perform the task so it shuts down immediately because it thinks its not in use. Could it be a problem with whatever service/program calls DPS?

Yep. Overall performance was better, too. Something must've messed up my .NET 4.5 install, but still no closer to fixing DPS.

Well, one problem was solved, though the original remains. I was able to successfully install .NET 4.5.1 but not able to diagnose my network and have Windows attempt to repair it.

Not sure how related this is, but I am also unable to install .NET 4.5.1.

I selected each entry for Windows repair and it did not solve the problem. When I attempt to repair wireless connections (even if there's nothing wrong), the DPS does not turn on and I get an error message.

Ah, okay. It's not too surprising to find out it's probably some other step in your tool (which I use extensively for fixing my friends' computers), but is there any way I could cut down the amount of time for repair? Anything I could mostly likely skip? Fortunately, I can remotely control my computer and most things should be done by the time I get home, but it's also the Media Center of the house and I don't want to potentially knock it out for the 5+ hrs I have left in my day.
Thanks for writing such a comprehensive tool that actually WORKS!

SFC scan did not find anything wrong. I haven't noticed any other particular services that aren't running properly.
It's not a hardware issue. The yellow symbol is regarding the network connection status. Sometimes it takes a long time for Windows to identify, or ask about identifying (Home, Work, or Public) networks, or there was some sort of IP conflict/unassigned address error that would be taken care of with the Troubleshooter. However, the troubleshooter cannot run without DPS; hence my problem.

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate MSDN x64. I have no idea what other kind of information that is pertinent besides what I've already attempted to do. Whenever I have a Yellow caution symbol on my WiFi adapter, I'm unable to run the troubleshooter to find out why and possibly do some repairing.
I've restarted several times and have done multiple scans of MSE, Malwarebytes, Combofix, and a slew of other antivirus programs.
I've checked services.msi and confirmed the DPS can start (though it shuts down immediately thereafter) and that it is not disabled or even manual.
I've tried "Restore Important Windows Services" in Tweaking AIO (after disabling MSE).
I still cannot run a troubleshooter on a WiFi network that only has a local connection. What gives?
