How to fix this problem?Thanks!

I think there is a problem with the encoding. Would you have any idea what your encoding might be?

[KlaineWei]

@kootenpv May be utf-8...But in your access_points_init_.py,it first checks utf-8 encoding and then goes to utf-16.So if it is utf-8,the error shouldn't come out.

I think that the error occurs in the utf16... so that means it is probably another encoding even. Maybe you could show the output of netsh wlan show networks mode=bssid on windows
