    How to completely clean uninstall driver, even if it's pre-installed


    Hello everyone. I have a problem related to my WiFi driver, and it's completely deteriorating my laptop.After I updated my windows, somehow my WiFi disappeared. Later I checked on the driver and they had an Error 10 the device is unable to start. To solve this problem, I remove complete uninstall the WiFi driver and use a WiFi dongle. Things are back to normal, but not in a long time. The WiFi driver managed to appear again and is usable. The problem is that if the WiFi driver is troubled in the middle of an operation returning an Error 10, it will jam or even freeze my laptop. Sometimes

    :)

    I'm not really into some of the games that were pre-loaded into my PC but when I try to bring up the games from the Start menu and click on 'uninstall' it takes me to the control panel, and I don't see the games listed there for me to uninstall. Suggestions, please? Thanks! ~P
