  1. Network driver stops working suddenly


    I have a Windows 11 ASUS TUF Gaming F15 laptop, and for the past 1.5-2 years I've been struggling with a networking issue wherein the WiFi icon simply disappears, and when I try opening the Device Manager, it says "The device cannot start Code 10".Screenshot attached.I have tried:1. Resetting my network, flushing DNS, etc. This worked temporarily once or twice, but mostly it doesn't.2. Reinstalling network driver. This too worked once in a while, but the issue persists after a day or two.3. Formatting the laptop and reinstalling Windows. Works for a while before sinking back into the same is

    Windows 10 Wireless internet driver mysteriously stopped working.

    Hi Garrett,

    Aside from updating and reinstalling the driver of the network adapters, what other troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    As a first troubleshooting step, we suggest that you run the Network troubleshooter. The Network troubleshooter may help diagnose and fix common connection problems. To run the Network troubleshooter:

    • In the search box on the taskbar, type Network troubleshooter, and select
      Identify and repair network problems from the list of results.
    • Follow the steps in the troubleshooter and see if that fixes the problem.

    We look forward to an update from you.

    Regards.

  3. Network Adapter Suddenly Stops Working

    I have a problem where I suddenly lose network connection. Sometimes I regain it after a while, but most often my network selection, after freezing up for a bit, shows no available networks afterwards, and the device manager stops displaying my network card.
    Restarting fixes this, but not the overall problem.

    I have of course tried multiple ways of fixing the problem, such as:

    • Reinstalling and updating the driver
    • Downloading and installing the driver directly from the vendor's website
    • Uninstalling and reinstalling the network card itself
    • Performing a network reset
    • Uninstalling other software and devices that I suspected might cause conflicts
    None of these seemed to change anything.

    I do not think that there is an issue with the physical card, though I really don't know much about the hardware so I can't be sure. The card does however have an LED on it that I assume is supposed to indicate whether it is connected, and it stayed on even
    while I had no connection shown on my PC.

    The network card is an ASUS PCE-AC88 802.11ac, and I am running Windows 10 version 1909.

    I am totally lost here and would appreciate any help!
