    Wifi driver not recognized


    Hello community,

    I recently updated to new newest version of Win10, same as every month.

    From time to time, after the update I'd have some issues with the wifi driver on my laptop. I easily fix that downloading the most recent driver from intel and it works lile charm.

    However, after this update, I can't no longer update my driver. I downloaded the most recent driver available from Intel, which is 21.80.2 from March 24th, instelled it, but the driver shown on the Device manager is 21.80.2.1 from February.

    Any tips how I can install the newest driver and connect via wifi again?

    Cheers!

    P.S.

    The wireless adapter in my laptop is Inter Wireless-AC 9560 160 MHz

  4. Wifi driver not recognized

    USB problems

    checked all of those suggestions an still no luck. They show as being there and enabled but doesnt recognize anything you plug into them. I got a driver checker as well and it lists the drivers as up to date. could this be a bad motherboard?
