Windows 10: Wireless Driver for Surface Pro 3

I have a surface pro 3 that the OS became corrupt and i did a full reimage from the advanced startup options. Now i don't have a wireless driver. The wireless is showing under Other items in the device manager.

I've tried downloading the surface pro 3 driver package from Microsoft but i get an error.




So i downloaded the file again, same error. Tried opening the file with my work laptop (also Win10) and got this same error.

Looks like the MS driver package is corrupt. I can't find a download for just the wireless.

Any ideas?

:)

 

Why is Airplane Mode always on since the latest Windows 10 update?

Hello,

Thank you for the reply.

Please reinstall wireless drivers on Surface pro and check.

Surface Pro 3 No Wifi networks found issue on Windows 10

Hi Egon,

The driver for your network adapter could be outdated and incompatible, and that is one of the possible reason why you are experiencing issues with connecting to WiFi networks. For us to provide better assistance, we would need to know which build and edition
of Windows 10 is installed on your device. For initial troubleshooting, we suggest installing the wireless drivers for your Surface Pro 3 available on this
link. You may download the driver using a different device and then install it on your Surface Pro 3.

Update us with the results.

 

The Surface 3 Pro got Firmware Updates yesterday .... not sure if it would help

did you get the Surface3 Recovery Iso and use that?

Yes i used the recovery image to do the reimage. I'll try the updates and see if that works.

Edit: That seems to have done the trick. Drivers are now installing. Thanks!

 

ok Great.... I have the non pro version 3 and check the Updates page regularly ....

Forgot to say I think you are supposed to use the .msi files to install rather than the drv_package direct or the zipfiles .

That was part of the problem, i couldn't extract the package, anything i tried to do with it gave that error.
