Windows 10: Suppressing driver updates for Wi-Fi adapter results in update error message 0x800F0248

It appears I have successfully suppressed the update of my Wi-Fi drivers, only to be bombarded with an update error 0x800F0248 on each update event. If I suppress something then I would only want to see an error message if I ask to, not by default.The update error message is -:"There were some problems installing updates, but we’ll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: 0x800f0248"Why not just give reason for the error as below? But only if I ask to see it...0x800F0248SPAPI_E_DEVICE_INSTALL_BLOCKEDThe instal

Windows 10 Wi-Fi Adapter Issues after 17134.254 Update

Hi Denzel,

Since the issue on your Wi-Fi adapter started after installing the latest update, then this could be a driver-related concern. The current driver may not be compatible that's why your wireless connection keeps disconnecting. For us to sort this out, I suggest
updating the driver of the Wi-Fi adapter. Please follow these steps:

1. Right-click the Windows key and select Device Manager.
2. Expand the Network adapters category, right-click your Wi-Fi adapter, then click
   Update Driver.
3. Select Search automatically for updated driver software.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
5. You may also check the Wi-Fi manufacturer's website for its latest driver in case Windows didn't find a new driver.

If the issue persists, then you may opt to roll back it's driver.

1. Right-click the Windows key and select Device Manager.
2. Expand the Network adapters category, right-click your Wi-Fi adapter, then click
   Properties.
3. Click on the Driver tab, then click Roll Back Driver.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
5. Click OK once done.

If you continue to have this issue even after performing the above steps, please let me know by replying to this thread. The system will notify me so I can get back to you as soon as I can.

Regards.

 

Wi-Fi errors (Windows 10)

I'm currently troubleshooting a HP laptop (HP G62-a10SQ to be more specific). The problem is that it doesn't want to connect to any Wi-Fi network. It leaves me with the generic error "Can't connect to this network." I've tried these steps so far

• Restarting the computer
  
• Flushing DNS
  
• Releasing and renewing the ipconfig
  
• Uninstalling the driver
  
• Reinstalling the driver
  
• Reseating the Wi-FI module
  
• Checking Windows Update for any drivers
  
• Updating the driver in Device Manager
  
• Temporarily removing my Wi-Fi encryption
  
• Trying to connect to a different Wi-Fi network outside of my network
  
• Probably more troubleshooting steps I can't remember atm (I will edit the post if I remember anything)
