Reinstall Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11ac Adapter. stopped working. No Wifi, no internet.
Tried the advice to Uninstall device in "device Manager", because supposedly Win 10 would re-install the Adapter.
Now Win 10 is stuck for hours on doing this re-install. Certainly, a reasonable company would have considered the possibility that a computer won't have internet access without a working internet adapter, but neither HP nor MSFT can be bothered to think that far ahead.
Here are some details :
Device PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_C821&SUBSYS_831A103C&REV_00\00E04CFFFEC8210100 had a problem starting.
Driver Name: oem28.inf

All I would need is a working copy of the particular Adapter installer software, and a link to download it from, complete with instructions about how to outwit the Windows 10 64 bit sharing violation trouble, and how to obtain access to the appropriate
file folder, on my computer, which I own, and which I therefore ought to be allowed to access to without hassle.
Is there anyone at HP who can fix this?
Personally, I'd fire Realtek, because they can't provide drivers that simply work, but that's just me.
