XBox 360 Wireless Adapter Not Found in Device Manager - Windows 10

Hi,

As you said the device is not listed as either a wireless adapter or an unknown device in the
Device Manager.

I suggest you to contact Xbox 360 hardware manufacture, the problem is with the hardware issue.

Also, you can post your query in Xbox forums.

I hope the information is helpful.

Thank you.

Wireless adapter not found in Device Manager

I ran the Lenovo Solution Center. Network Adapter was not listed in the hardware scanned. Not sure if there is a separate listing for that normally or not.

Ever since I ran a power cycle the adapter has not appeared in the Device Manager.

Does anyone believe removing the adapter and putting it back would solve the issue? I would rather not open my computer if there is little chance of it solving the issue. I am a complete novice doing this.

Not sure if this is relevant but in my Network Adapter in Device Manager there was "Microsoft Kernel Debug Network Adapter". It has since disappeared.
