    WiFi Network Adapter Missing in Windows 10 on MacBook Pro


    I read this discussion of a similar problem, but I have further questions and that thread is closed.


    Using boot camp assistant I installed Windows 10 Home on my MacBook. Everything went well and I tried to download the fortnite installer when I got a warning about Windows Firewall having blocked something. I proceeded with the installation anyway, but it failed because I had lost my internet connection. Actually I had lost the connection with my WiFi network. WiFi is not even listed under Settings->Network & Internet. And there is no WiFi device under Device Manager->Network adapters. If I boot OS X WiFi works just fine as usual, so the WiFi hardware is good.

    • Scanning for new hardware and a ‘Network reset’ via Settings didn’t help.
    • The build-in troubleshooter in Windows was useless.

    When I right-click on Device Manager->Network adapters I do not see an option to update drivers. (I only see scan for new hardware (which did not help), and Properties). Looks like Windows is missing the WiFi drivers. So how do I follow these instructions you gave in the previous discussion to reinstall the driver?


    >>

    Please update the Network adapter and check if it helps.



    Update the Network adapter drivers.

    a. Press Windows + x, select Device Manager.

    b. Right click the Network Adapter drivers.

    c. Click Update drivers.


    You may contact apple for the drivers. If the drivers are not available for Windows 8 you may download Windows 7 drivers and install them in compatibility mode.



    To run the drivers in compatibility mode, please follow the steps.



    a. Right click the driver installation file and select Properties.

    b. Click the Compatibility tab.

    c. Check the option Run this program in compatibility mode.

    d. Click the drop down box and select a previous operating system, Click OK.

    e. Try installing the driver again.

    Is the WiFi network adapter working correctly according to Device Manger, or is it an unkown device or have an exclamation point?

    Is the WiFi network adapter showing up under Change Adapter Settings in the Network and Sharing Center?

  3. Windows 10 cannot access a shared MacBook Pro on the network

    I just purchased a MacBook Pro. Turned on sharing for everyone on our network for Documents and Pictures but my Windows 10 laptop cannot see the MacBook in the Network list in File Manager. I was able to see the Mac from Windows 7 before I upgraded to
    Windows 10. Is there a driver or two missing that needs to be installed before I can see the Mac or are there other settings that need to be adjusted to all my Win10 laptop to access the Mac. Thanks!

    Hi,

    You need support software (drivers) installed with Boot Camp to use Windows 10. This software is automatically downloaded when you use Boot Camp Assistant. Boot Camp supports 64-bit versions of Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro when used with a supported
    Mac. Here are the list that supports Windows 10:

    • MacBook Pro (2012 and later)
    • MacBook Air (2012 and later)
    • MacBook (2015 and later)
    • iMac Pro (2017)iMac (2012 and later)
    • Mac mini (2012 and later)
    • Mac mini Server (Late 2012)
    • Mac Pro (Late 2013)

    We also suggest that you check and follow the steps shared by Andre Da Costa on this
    thread on how to setup Windows 10 on your Mac using Boot Camp.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.
