Windows 10: BSOD when plugin a USB Wifi Adapter

Recently I've got a usb wifi adapter and it came with a disk with the drivers, so i proceeded to install the drivers by executing the autorun.exe, selecting windows and then it installed the drivers and i restarted the computer. It was going great until it started to sound like it was connecting and disconnecting a USB, untiI I got the BSOD Stop code: SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED, What failed: rtwlanu.sys.

This only happens when I plug the adapter, since then im not able to connect to WiFi.


My pc specs:

•Mother - Kam1-l

•Amd Athlon 5350 APU with Radeontm

•RAM 6GB DDR3

•Windows 10 Pro

USB Wireless adapter not connecting to Wifi

Hello

I am having trouble making my new USB Wifi Adapter to work. The drivers are working fine but the issue is it is not connecting to wifi.

1. I am using Windows 10
2. The adapter which I am trying to work is Alfa AWUS036NHA 150Mbps
3. I have also one USB mini wifi adapter attached to my other USB through which I am currently using internet

From the above screenshot, the Wi-Fi 2 is which I am trying to connect. When I right-click on Wi-Fi 2 and click on Connect/Disconnect, It shows the already connected Wifi through USB mini adapter.

When I Disable WiFi and try to connect through WiFi 2 then it shows an error "Change settings, such as making a connection metered"

The device utility does not show any Wifi available connections though there are 2-3 wifi connection is there.








any idea how can I make connect to internet using my new Alfa AWUS036NHA 150Mbps Wireless USB Adaptor - Wi Fi 2 on Windows 10 ?

 

Problems when sharing WiFi with the Virtual Adapter

For many years I have always shared Internet to my devices like phone and tablet with my PC's WiFi antenna through the Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter, I only use it for that, since I have a cable connection, and I start the wifi with the command NETSH WLAN start hostednetwork previously having done the settings of NETSH WLAN set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid="Wifi" key="password".

For my devices to connect it is necessary that the Virtual Adapter that is created with that command has access to the Internet, for this I have to share the Internet from my Ethernet adapter to the Virtual Wifi adapter.

For some time now (a couple of months) I've been experiencing problems when sharing the Internet through that medium. The problem is that when I start the WiFi my devices do not connect, they say "Getting IP address" and never connect.

I have found the solution and I have to do the following:

1. Disable the Virtual Adapter with the command netsh wlan stop hostednetwork.
2. Remove the connection sharing from the Ethernet Adapter.
3. Activate the Virtual Adapter with the command netsh wlan start hostednetwork.
4. Adding connection sharing from the Ethernet Adapter to the Virtual Adapter again.

By doing these steps my devices can now be connected to the Wifi, but sometimes it doesn't work if I do these steps too quickly. I have noticed that if I do step 3 and 4 too quickly it does not work and I have to repeat the process but doing these last two steps more slowly, until the Virtual Adapter gets an IP address 192.168.137.1 from Internet Protocol version 4

Also this problem does not occur 100% of the time. Sometimes when I run the command to start the Wifi everything happens fine and my devices connect well but this only works after my PC has been on for at least 5 minutes (I haven't counted it). If I run the command as soon as my PC has turned on then it doesn't work anymore.

As I mentioned before this problem didn't occur before because I had configured a .bat file that ran as soon as the PC was turned on with the NETSH WLAN start hostednetwork command and everything worked fine.

Now, I would like to go back to before when everything was fine so that when my PC starts up the WiFi too and I don't have to do all this protocol all the time, but with a simple command everything is solved.

Could someone give me a hand with this?

 

Windows 10 bsod when i plug in wifi usb adapter-arthx.sys

So i had this pc for some time now

And it's my main (and only) pc

It worked just fine for years (with win 7 and 10) with this wifi usb adapter( tp-link tl-wn722n)

Untill one day, it chrashed my pc when i tried to start it up

I cannot start it up with the adapter dongle plugged in or it would bsod in seconds

It happens only with this usb dongle( i have tried a bluetooth one, some usb sticks )

I don't know what to do

On the bsod it says "system thread exception not handled error" and " athrx.sys" is the cause of the problem

I have tried to restore windows keeping the files

No result
