So my wirless internet adapter has been getting the error code 10 three times already. For the first two times i managed to fix my wna (wireless network adapter for short) but now i cant seem to fix it anymore. Ive tried to reset my network, reinstall my wna, run a troubleshooter but none worked. Its been almost 2 weeks since my wna broke and im still trying to fix it.

    Hi AndreiLais,

    Apologies if the suggested methods didn't work for you. Just to clarify, do you also encounter the same issue when connected via Ethernet cable?

    Can you also reset your DNS cache, then try to reinstall your wireless network adapter again to troubleshoot the issue:

    1. On the search bar, type "command prompt" and select Run as administrator
    2. Type the following commands and press Enter after each command

    ipconfig /flushdns

    nbtstat -R

    nbtstat -RR

    netsh int reset all

    netsh int ip reset

    netsh winsock reset

    1. Once done, type "devmgmt. msc" on the command prompt window to open Device Manager
    2. Expand Network adapters > right click on your wireless network adapter and select Uninstall device > the Delete the driver software for this device check box > Uninstall.
    3. Perform a reboot(this should reinstall your network adapter).
    4. Temporarily disable your firewall and antivirus, then check again

    Please see DaveM121's advice on this thread on how to restore your apps that got removed after the reset: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/for.... You may do the methods after the issue with your network adapter has been resolved.

    Please let me know how it goes. Thank you.

    Hi AndreiLais,

    Again, apologies if that didn't work as well.

    I'm running out of options here. Let's see if someone else has a better idea with regards to this issue.

    Hi AndreiLais,

    I'm Paul, an Independent Advisor. I hope I can help you with your concern.

    I recommend that you download and install the WIFI driver from your PC manufacturer's website.

    I can help you find the compatible WIFI driver just let me know your PC make and model.
