Windows 10: Wifi driver and bluescreen

Hi everyone,I have a new computer, an ASUS Zenbook 15 OLED, and a few days ago it happened to me twice that I turned on the computer and it didn't recognize the wifi driver. After restarting, bluescreen, didn't recognize the SSD. Turned off, turned on and it was fine. After that, I had some Windows updates and it never happened again. I wanted to know what could have happened and if I should worry for the future.Thanks in advance

wifi issues

ok so i'm getting these bluescreens every once and awhile now, ever since i put in a new airlink usb wifi adapter thingy.

heres a screenie:




sorry for the quality, its my pda's camera....

i'm thinking its the wifi usb dongle thats causing the problems. it tends to get a bit warm, and when the system bluescreens, the blue status light on it turns off.

any suggestions on how to remedy this? its starting to get irritating when i have to do big downloads, and it bluescreens.

thx!

 

Wifi adapter bluescreens Win10 after recent update

The wifi on my (7-yr-old) laptop died last week. I plan to replace it very soon but I needed to limp it along a bit longer. I bought a USB wifi adapter (TP-Link TL-WN725N V2) and it worked perfectly with the standard drivers, better than the original wifi. Happy guy.

Then earlier this week my laptop upgraded Win10, and it bluescreened when it rebooted. Much less happy.

On a hunch I pulled the WN725N and Windows booted right up. Plug in the WN725N and bam! Instant bluescreen.

I googled a driver-download page and downloaded http://static.tp-link.com/res/down/s...N_V_160412.zip. That was supposedly the Win10 driver, but the .inf file said it only went up to Win8. But I tried it, and the installer said "Adapter not found. Please plug in your adapter." But if I plug it in, my laptop craters.

I went to http://www.tp-link.com/us/download/T...5N.html#Driver and downloaded the Win10 driver there (http://static.tp-link.com/TL-WN725N_...70726_Wins.zip). It looked more up-to-date, but it had the same problem -- it wouldn't install until the adapter was plugged in.

I tried plugging in an ooold LInksys adapter (WUSB600N) and it also immediately bluescreened. So I don't think it's purely a problem with the TP-Link.

Help! Any suggestions where to go from here? I need my wifi back!
