Windows 10: Win10 Pro (x64/1809): Keeps installing "preloaded" WLAN drivers?

So, I recently did a fresh install of Windows 10 Pro (1809), as I felt that not having done anything but an in-place/refresh/reset since Windows 7 Pro was kinda causing issues.


Now, I am finding out that in Windows 10 Pro (1809) I am no longer able to un-install the drivers that Microsoft has provided for my ASUS PCE-AC51 WLAN card through Device Manager. I uninstall, it claims to uninstall... restart, it's back. I even disabled Driver Installation and still it keeps coming back. There is no check box for delete driver files... so, I am at a loss.


The driver provided by ASUS is 6/30/16 and the MS one is 1/9/2018, so I can't update to the ASUS one... do I have to physically go in and delete the files at System32\drivers\? The driver files show rtwlane.sys and vwifibus.sys as the files, one is showing a MS provider the other Realtek. So, am I correct in assuming that one is the actual driver and the other is MS Virtual WLAN drivers?


The previous drivers that I was using seemed to run a lot better and had a lot more configuration and tweaking I could do... this one only allows Beacon Interval, Preamble Mode, Wireless Mode. The other one allowed me to set the Roaming, Antenna, etc. and just overall seemed more smooth. If I install the driver software, it does not change the WLAN card's actual driver at all it seems, but causes even more issues...

Windows WLAN Service: Regular ping spikes on a stable WLAN connection

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

First Verify if the WLAN service is started and set to automatic, if the WLAN service is stopped, I would suggest you to start the service and put it to automatic.

Step 1: Please follow the steps to
start the WLAN service.

• 
  Click on Start, type in services.msc
  and press Enter.
  
• 
  Select WLAN Autoconfig from the list, Right click properties
  
• 
  Change the startup type to Automatic.
  
• 
  Click on Start button.
  
• 
  Click on Apply, Ok.
  

Restart the computer and verify if it works.

Also check if all the dependencies are also running. Try the steps to check Dependencies.

• 
  Right-click on WLAN Autoconfig and select Properties.
  
• 
  Click on Dependencies, you will find all the dependency services under box labeled this service depends on the following system components.
  

Step 2: If still you are facing issues, then
uninstall and reinstall the drivers

• 
  Click start.
  
• 
  Type devmgmt.msc in Start
  Search.
  
• 
  In Network adapter you will find the device, right click on it and select the option
  uninstall.
  
• 
  Restart the computer and check reinstalling the drivers.
