Error code 56 for Xbox Wireless Adapter fix?

Question

I just bought a Xbox Wireless Adapter for PC and it doesn't work. I went over to device manager and the drivers for it got the error code 56. I tried the adapter on another windows 10 device and it works there just fine so there aren't any problems with it. I had some problems in the past with internet adapters with the same problem same error code

Please type Device Manager at the start and open the page.

Scroll down the page and click on Network adapter.

Right-click on the driver and uninstall it.

Then restart your computer. Windows will reinstall the driver and many times fix problems.

____

If this doesn't work, download updated drivers from the maker of your computer such as Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc. The maker of your computer is responsible for having updated drivers so their computer will work on Windows.

You will want to go to their website support page. Then go to the pages for the drivers for your computer. You will want to install the most current drivers. Many companies have scanners to help you with this. If you have a problem, their support should be able to help you find the correct driver.

Please let me know if you continue to have a problem.
