    Program would not run although it appears in task manager?


    I just had to create a whole new user profile so I could install a program so I could use it. In my regular profile I could not find a way to get this program to run. It would be running in the task manager but not open on my desk top. Weird. A remote support person from the software company could not figure out why. He suggested I create a new user account and install it again. I did and it worked. However, I'm not logged into the user account where I have all my files.

    What should I do about this? How do I resolve this problem?

    :)

    WiFi no longer appears in Settings although it is installed

    Hi Niraj,

    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community.

    Are Windows 10 drivers available for the network adapter?

    If no Windows 10 drivers are available, install the latest available drivers in compatibility mode.

    • Right click on the setup file (setup.exe for the drivers) and select Properties.
    • Now click on the Compatibility tab and check the box which says Run this program in compatibility mode for.
    • Select Windows 8 or Windows 7. Click Apply and OK.
    • Now right click the setup file and select Run as Administrator and follow the normal installation procedure.
    Do reply if you have more questions.

  3. WiFi no longer appears in Settings although it is installed

    Hello everyone,

    The problem's fixed somehow. However, I found that it was after I installed Cumulative Update KB3081444 for Windows 10 x64 as well as uninstalled Kaspersky Total Security Technical Preview 2016.

    This is just for those who may be having the same problem. Good luck!

    Thanks,

    Niraj Menon
