  1. Miniport/TAP driver/s will not install


    Ok so recently i was trying to use a vpn and i noticed it would not work. I was trying to use a vpn app off of the windows store. The app was working before but just stopped working. So i thought it might be an issue with the miniport drivers so i went into device manger and i did not see the drivers. I even ticked the show hidden drivers button and it was not shown. None of the miniport drivers were there. The TAP driver was also not there. It was there before but now its is not. I done tried to use devcon.exe to reinstall the drivers. So i used it to do that and it gave me an error of devcon.exe failed. So then i went over to the logs and it told me that you see below. I have tried to look online for this type of problem and i could not find it anywhere on how to fix my problem. Im trying to install all the required Miniport drivers for that vpn app i got off of the microsoft store that was working before but stopped working. Also im trying to install the TAP driver for that app also for it to work again. I tried to run

    "devcon.exe install c:\Windows\inf\netavpna.inf MS_AgileVpnMiniport" to install the first driver i needed and right at that first one it failed. Then i tried to run the other ones you see here to at least try to install the other drivers.

    devcon.exe install c:\Windows\inf\netrasa.inf MS_NdisWanIp

    devcon.exe install c:\Windows\inf\netrasa.inf MS_NdisWanIpv6devcon.exe install c:\Windows\inf\netrasa.inf MS_NdisWanBh

    devcon.exe install c:\Windows\inf\netrasa.inf MS_L2tpMiniport

    devcon.exe install c:\Windows\inf\netrasa.inf MS_PppoeMiniport

    devcon.exe install c:\Windows\inf\netrasa.inf MS_PptpMiniport

    devcon.exe install c:\Windows\inf\netsstpa.inf MS_SstpMiniport

    Then i got the same error of devcon.exe failed. So then i tried to do sfc /scannow and that also did not work but it did fix some corrupted files. The thing is it did not work. So then im comming here for some help on how to fix my problem. I also tried to look for a restore point and i did not have any restore points because i have not set a restore point yet. Im really confused of why it decided to do this. A couple of months ago it was working. Later when i tried to open that app up it was not working anymore so i did what you see above. I even tried rebooting after doing sfc /scannow i even tried rebooting when i did some other things. I also tried to uninstall the app then reboot then install it again and still it did not work. So if anyone can help please do and thanks.

    W/L network adapter driver and WFi miniport driver issues on Windows 10

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I understand the inconvenience you are facing. I appreciate your efforts toward solving the issue. I will certainly help you with this. Kindly follow the below given methods.

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to run Network adaptor troubleshooter and check if it works:

    • Click on Start and enter
      troubleshooting in the search box.
    • Tap or click Troubleshooting.
    • Tap or click Network and Internet, tap or click
      Network Adapter, and follow the instructions on your screen.


    Method 2:

    Reinstall the Network driver in compatibility mode

    Though you have installed network driver numerous times and it didn’t helped. The issue could have occurred due to the drivers installed not being compatible with Windows 10.

    In order to use the drivers which are designed or developed for a different Operating System, we need to install them in compatibility mode. Please follow the steps below to uninstall the network driver:



    • Press Windows Key + R.
    • Type devmgmt.msc and hit Enter.
    • Right click on the Network adaptor and select
      Uninstall.
    To install the drivers in compatibility mode, follow the steps below:



    • Right click on the setup file of the driver and select
      Properties.
    • Select Compatibility Tab.
    • Place a check mark next to Run this program in Compatibility mode and select the
      operating system accordingly from the drop down list
    • Click OK and run the setup.
    Method 3:

    Restart the WLAN Auto Config service

    If the issue persist, I suggest you to restart the above service as it should fix the error you are getting. This is a service that configures wireless security and connectivity settings.

    Follow the steps below to restart the WLAN and Wired Auto Config service:



    • Press Windows Key + R
    • Type services.msc and hit Enter.
    • Search and Right click on the WLAN Auto Config service and select
      Restart, or click on Start if it’s not started.
    Hope this information helps. Post back with updated issue details for further help.

    Thank you.
