Windows 10: Network, Bluetooth and more adapter drivers not working

Hi there,I'm hoping someone can help me. I recently was trying to Uninstall some programs to clean up my computer since I haven't used these programs in a long time. In the midst of doing this, I was prompted to complete a windows update as well. Since doing this, all of a sudden I have no wifi adapter driver, and hardly anything is working. No wifi, no Bluetooth, no troubleshooters work, no hp support assistant, etc .. everything pops up with "these files have moved or are missing". I have tried a network reset, going into device manager and updating drivers says it is running on the current

Wifi/Bluetooth adapter issues/ maybe virus

Hi Nath,

Try re-enabling your third-party anitivirus and do a full system scan. Once done, and if Wi-Fi and Bluetooth is still not working, try to uninstall and reinstall both drivers. Follow these steps:

1. Right-click on Start menu button, and select Device Manager.
2. Expand Network adapter section, right-click on your Wi-Fi driver and select
   Uninstall device.
3. Repeat the steps for Bluetooth driver.
4. Restart your computer.

Both drivers should reload fine after the restart. If it doesn't, I suggest manually downloading and installing the latest wireless network adapter and Bluetooth driver from your computer manufacturer website.

If you need further help, let me know by posting back. I will get back to you as soon as I can.
