Windows 10: Wifi card/driver not working properly

Recently built a brand new PC for myself. Had to go out and buy a wireless adapter PCi card because the motherboard didn't come with Wi-Fi.

Sound driver is not working properly

Hello Jeff,


Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

What is the make and model the computer?

Sound problems can be caused by cables that aren't connected properly, damaged drivers, incompatible drivers, sound settings, missing updates, and problems with your sound card.

I request you to follow the below steps:

Step 1: Uninstall the Sound card Drivers

a. Press “Windows Logo” + “X” keys on the keyboard.
b. Click on “Device Manager” from that list.
c. Search for the Sound driver from the device list, right click on it and then select “Uninstall”. On the un-installation window, if you have an option: “Delete the driver software for this device” you may select that and then remove the corrupted drivers
from the computer.
d. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete it and the restart the computer if prompted.

After the restart, please go ahead with the next steps to install the latest drivers and check if that resolves the issue.
Update Driver Software from the Manufacturer’s website.


Step 2: Go to the Computer or Sound Card manufacturer’s website and search for the latest Windows 10 drivers available for the Sound Card model and then install it by following the instructions given in the website.

I also request you to follow the below article:

Thank you.

 

wifi driver vanished

Hi harishsk3033,

It appears that the wireless adapter/card on your laptop gone missing. Have you made any changes or installed any updates on your laptop prior to the issue? If yes, what were those changes or updates?

Basically, since the wireless adapter/card no longer appears in Device Manager, then it implies that the device is no longer detected. Downloading its drivers will not do any help. The wireless adapter/card has to be detected first before you can install
its driver.

As a workaround, I suggest performing the following steps to try to re-detect the wireless adapter/card:

• Reboot the laptop
  • To insure that the laptop is properly rebooted, I recommend to shut it down first, before starting it up again.
• Scan for hardware changes
  1. Open Device Manager.
  2. Right-click the Network adapters category, and click
     Scan for hardware changes.
  3. Check if the wireless card appears. If yes, then right-click it, and click
     Update driver software.
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
• Check for Other devices in Device Manager.
  1. Go back to Device Manager and look for Other devices.
  2. If it's there, then expand it.
  3. If the wireless adapter/card is on the list, then right-click it and click
     Update Driver Software.
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions.

If the above steps won't help, then there's a need to unplug and replug the wireless adapter/card on your laptop to have it detected. Please contact your computer manufacturer for proper assistance.

Kindly update this thread with the result so I'll be able to assist you further if needed.

Regards.
