Windows 10: Mediatek RT2870 Application

I have an application Mediatek RT1870 Wireless LAN showing up on myu list of installed applications and it is using up over 5GB of space. Is this normal? Can I remove it?


I have checked my wireless adapter and it states that it is a Dell adapter which would make sense as it is a Dell XPS27 all-in-one PC.


The PC is running really slowly and I am trying to remove applicatrions that I don’t use to see if that helps. How can I tell if applications are being used by the PC?

Publisher MediaTek Blocked?


Using the tutorial Unblock File in Windows 10 didn't work.

Simrick suggested http://www.technicalnotes.org/fix-th...in-windows-10/

From this suggestion I found a workaround of running the driver setup from CMD, which worked, but I'm still left with a blocked file. See certificate details below ...





Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks, but it didn't work. I used the PS option:

get-childitem "D:\Downloads\Computer Drivers\Alfa Wireless\ALFA AWUS036NH (Ralink RT2870) Wireless USB WiFi Adapter\MediaTek (Ralink)" | unblock-file -confirm

 

Alfa AWUS036NH Wi-Fi Adapter Driver: Publisher MediaTek Blocked?


I have an Alfa AWUS036NH Wireless USB Wi-Fi Adapter, which has a Ralink RT2870 chip. Alfa don't have a Windows 10 driver, so I downloaded the driver from MediaTek (MediaTek bought Ralink a few years ago): MediaTek: Semiconductor Products, Technologies and Innovations

Their site says the driver is WHQL certified, but when I try to run it I get a dialog box saying the publisher has been blocked:


Clicking How do I unblock this publisher? just goes to a Bing search, which is not very helpful.
