Why each option
The command `netsh wlan show all` is required because it is the only subcommand that outputs interface data, network profile information, and wireless settings together in a single execution.
`netsh wlan show interfaces` displays only the current state and properties of wireless network adapters, omitting network profile data and global wireless configuration settings.
`netsh wlan show all` aggregates every category of wireless LAN information into one output, including interface status, available networks, stored profiles, and global wireless settings. The question explicitly requires all three categories - interface information, network information, and wireless settings - simultaneously, which only the `show all` subcommand satisfies. All other `netsh wlan show` subcommands are scoped to a single category and cannot fulfill the combined requirement on their own.
`netsh wlan show settings` outputs only the global wireless LAN service settings, providing neither interface-level details nor network profile information.
`netsh wlan show drivers` reports only wireless adapter driver information and capabilities, not interface, network, or settings data.
