    Hello Liyana Mohamad,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum. It's my pleasure to help you today.

    I understand that you are having trouble with your driver. I see that you have tried to update and uninstalling the drivers, but it didn't help. Before we proceed, may I know if there are any changes to your computer before this happens?

    In the meantime, let try to do a few scans on your system to see if there are any corruption. This could help with your situation:

    • Type "Command Prompt" in the search bar and select "Run as administrator".
    • Type DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and press Enter.
    • Restart your computer when it's done.
    • Go back to command prompt and type sfc /scannow and press Enter.
    • Restart your PC again when it's done.

    Hi ,

    Access the device manager, go to the USB controllers tab, take a screenshot and post it here.

    Try the adapter on another computer and see if the same error occurs.

    If possible, connect the wireless adapter directly to the computer; do not connect it via a USB hub.

    Thanks
