After installing a new SDD the Wireless Card is not recognized

[Maroc]

Before replacing my SSD and installing Windows 10, WiFi and Bluetooth worked perfectly.

Problem:

The Wireless Adapter does not show in Device Manager (even with hidden devices shown).

I have manually installed the required drivers, but that made no difference.

I tried the HP Hardware Diagnostics tool, but it only offers testing the Wired Network Card.

I tried removing and re-inserting the Wireless Card (in the unlikely event it was a poor connection), but that made no difference.

The HP Support Assistant offers the Intel Ethernet NIC driver - although that is working fine, but if I download and install it, installation fails. Not sure if that could be related.

I'm stumped!!! Any help much appreciated.

if you remove the ssd it works again ?

https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-elitedesk-800-35w-g3-desktop-mini-pc/15234602/model/15234603...

if we look at the list of possible components we see different m2/sata SSD models
No reason it shouldn't work..
unless there is a problem with the model used, or mishandling/conflict..
if the card is not visible anywhere, no drivers can be installed
Which model is the SSD, maybe this will give an indication to someone with the same problem, or who has seen this before
see if the documents say anything

 HP EliteDesk 800 G3 Desktop Mini, HP ProDesk 600 G3 Desktop Mini, HP ProDesk 400 G3 Desktop Mini - ...

Well if I remove the SSD nothing will work as Windows 10 is installed on the SSD so the PC cannot boot!!!

The SSD is a Kingston SATA 480GB (SA400S37/480G).

Windows 10 was installed using a bootable installer on USB (Microsoft Media Creation Tool).

Everything else is working fine except the Wireless card.

I have been through the manual and there's nothing there that helps, sadly.

I've ordered a replacement WLAN card in case for some strange reason it's failed.

""Well if I remove the SSD nothing will work as Windows 10 is installed on the SSD so the PC cannot boot!!!"

yes, I doubt it, sorry, I was not clear, remove the new one, and replace the original one, I forgot to specify, it seemed obvious to me

"Before replacing my SSD and installing Windows 10, WiFi and Bluetooth worked perfectly."

Sadly the reason the original SSD was replaced was because it died.

After hours more Googling and trying various things, including installing a replacement Wireless Card, I note the following:

HP Support tool detects NIC install is needed. But installation fails.

I could only get the Intel 8265 NIC to appear in Device Manager buy either:

   1) Installing as legacy device from Device Manager, or

   2) Running the Intel software support tool

However, in both cases the NIC had the dreaded yellow exclamation mark of misery applied to it, and

the device was not working properly because the driver could not be loaded (code 31).

Now trying a fresh installation of Windows 10.

Why do I not feel optimistic???

[Maroc]

There was no change after a complete reinstallation of Windows 10.

The WLAN NIC is Intel Dual Band AC 8265NGW.

The driver installed is version 20.70.30.1.

On another forum it was suggested turning off memory integrity might solve the issue, but it did not.

The Windows Events log shows the following sequence:

this link help ?

Many thanks for your help thus far.

Sadly the link https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/networking/code-31-error-device-manage...

is specific to issues with the WAN Miniport (Network monitor)  - which in my case is not reporting any problems.

The Intel® Driver & Support Assistant I have run before, and running it now shows the message that all my drivers are up to date.

As suggested here: https://windowsreport.com/fix-drivers-wont-install/

I ran

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth (no issues found)

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth (completed successfully)

sfc /scannow (no issues found)

I have tried another fresh install of Windows 10 with the same result as before, namely:

1) The Wireless Card is not recognized.

2) The drivers can only be installed by "Add Legacy Hardware" feature of Device Manager

3) The drivers do not load

4) Device status is:

This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)

The request is not supported.

5) The relevant error from the Windows Event logs appears to be:

Device ROOT\NET\0000 had a problem starting.

Driver Name: oem46.inf
Class Guid: {4d36e972-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}

I am completely stumped.
