Hi DrissRakkabe,

The error code 10 is displayed in Device manager when a device cannot start or if the drivers required for the device doesn’t start. I would suggest you to try the steps suggested in this article and check:

Some users have also mentioned that certain third party security software like Zone alarm have blocked the Microsoft Teredo tunneling service. If you are using any third party security software, disable it temporarily and then check if the issue persists.

Important Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it to install other software, you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

Try these steps and let us know the results for further assistance.

Wouldn't someone expecting you to give exactly that advice to disable the security software so whatever is stopping taredo from starting can upload information ? After all hackers and spyware rely on the advice of professionals to make their move or pre-program software to do so.

Hi,

In this case, I would suggest you to restore the computer to an earlier date prior to this issue and check and if the issue persists. Refer to this article for more information:

Dear Bennett,

I am having this same problem and have modified the registry and dealt with the device manager as recommended in other advice postings. I have (temporarily) uninstalled all antivirus/security but the wifi still isn't working. Honestly, my computer went from working perfectly to no wifi. Please advise how I may remedy this problem.
