      Compatibility mode?

    • Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling the touch drivers?


    You may be facing the above issue due to the incompatibility of the synaptic drivers with certain applications installed in the computer. The issue may also occur due to certain system performances on the computer.



    Method 1: Run

    Windows 1709 update on my desktop 11-16-2017 driver failure

    Hi Peter,

    There are possible reasons why your Wi-Fi is not available after upgrade to Windows 10:

    • The Wi-Fi or the wireless adapter driver is not updated and not compatible with Windows 10 Fall Creators Update/Creators Update/Anniversary Update. In some cases, the Wi-Fi driver is missing after Windows 10 update. In this case, we suggest updating the
      driver of your network device. Generally speaking, updated drivers deliver better functionality and improved performance. For the most part, you certainly want to upgrade your drivers unless you have a very specific reason for not wanting to do so. To perform
      the task, simply follow the steps provided by Andre Da Costa on this

      link
      . If the update does'nt work we suggest switching back to version 1703.
    • If reinstalling Wi-Fi drivers doesn't help, the problem may be triggered by unsupported VPN software present during the Windows 10 upgrade. If you have an old VPN client, it's certain that the piece of software is what is causing the no internet connection
      issue on Windows 10. In this case, we suggest removing the VPN software temporarily to isolate the concern. If the suggest step doesn't work, we suggest to switch back to 1703.

    If you require any further information, feel free to let us know.

    Regards.
