Windows 10: Trouble with installing older network driver

I'm trying to install an older network driver because the latest drivers cause my connection to drop randomly. I've successfully installed this driver previously before, but after trying out another driver which didn't work, I tried to reinstall this older driver.

However, it started giving me this error (https://ibb.co/SBZbtcZ) telling me that a version of the installer is already installed. When I check which network driver is installed in my device manager, it is the latest driver which I do not want. I've already tried to uninstall the driver from the device manager many times. Can anyone help me with my issue? Thank you!

Install a driver for your network adapter

Did all you said, didnt work
Also, i already have the cd. It is not its drivers people. It is something else
If it was the drivers the wireless usb key would have worked.
All kind of drivers suggested, official and other things didn't work.
It must be something blocking my pc network

 

Unable to install older NVIDIA Drivers on Windows 10

Hi,



Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

• Did you try installing the driver in compatibility mode? Mostly it’s a compatibility issue which many of our customers are facing with NVIDIA.
  

I would suggest you go through the suggestion by Andre Da Costa for information about the incompatible Graphics Card and check if it helps.



Graphics card not compatible with Windows 10?



If still the issue persists then I suggest you to go to manufacturer’s website install the graphic drivers for windows 10 and if it is not available then you can install it in compatibility mode and check if it helps.

Make older programs compatible with this version of Windows

Network connection trouble

Hi,

This issue can occur from a problematic network driver.

Since your laptop is the only one that cannot see the WiFi network or network name (SSID) of your router, try updating your network driver and see if the issue will persist:

• Press Windows key + X.
• Select Device Manager.
• Expand Network adapters.
• Right-click on your network adapter and select Update Driver.
• Select Search automatically for updated driver software
• If Windows doesn't find a new driver, you can try looking for one on the device manufacturer's website and follow their instructions.
• Restart your device and see if the issue will continue.

If these steps didn't work, reinstall the network adapter:

• Follow steps 1-3 above.
• Right-click on your network driver and select Uninstall.
• Restart your device.
• Windows will automatically reinstall the driver.

Update us with the outcome so we can provide further assistance.
