    USB Wi-Fi Adapter Disabling

    Is it on Windows 8's compatibility list (check MS website- forgot link)?

    I had an issue with one Wi-fi adapter and it wasn't listed as compatible- All was well when I swapped it out with one on the compatibility list

    Virtual Wi-fi Adapter

    Hi,

    I'm using my laptop as a second screen for my desktop. (by pressing win + p)
    For some reason, this feature is only available in Windows if your desktop has a wi-fi adapter.
    Funny thing is, that after I connect to my laptop with wi-fi, I can remove the adapter and it still works.

    I just managed to brake my adapter, so I was thinking if I can create a virtual wi-fi adapter somehow just to enable this option.
    Any suggestions?

    Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with Internet connection. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the
    issue is with your internet.

    Refer these steps:

    • Press Windows key +X, select Control panel.

    Method 2: Download and install the latest firmware updates for the Wi-Fi adapter.

    Follow these steps to un-install the drivers:


    • On the search bar type “Device Manager”

    • Right on the “Wireless adapter” option and click “Uninstall’

    • Download the latest Wireless network adapter driver setup file from the manufacturer’s website and install it.
