  1. Deleting a driver package?


    Will deleting a driver package from an old Canon MX920 and removing all traces of it have any affect on my current Canon TR7620a installation, or does the installation of a new printer of the same manufacturer share some leftover files or DDL's with a printer that has been formerly deleted using a conventional deletion process which may leave drivers from the old printer on the hard drive..

  2. Ethernet Driver is not working on Windows 10

    Hi,

    Thank you for the reply and update.

    If you have not yet tried this then I suggest you to follow this step to test if that helps.

    Follow these steps.


    • Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device Manager”.

    • In the list of devices, you should see the Network Adaptor.

    • Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".

    • In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.

    In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan for Hardware changes” option. This will cause the default device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.

    Keep us informed to help you further.
