Hi,

This hp desktop had win 7 on it from the box new.

I upgraded to win 8 then 8.1 then windows 10.

but then did a clean install of windows 10.

the wifi icon showed up in notifications tab  and worked and wifi was fine with all windows versions as i stated even windows 10.

it was after a microsoft windows update i believe that broke it and did it and made it not work and wifi icon is gone now and wifi doesnt work.

 i did remove the card from the motherboard and put it back in to see if that would fix it and it did not..

yes the computer i have is windows 64bit 

device manager showes network adapters and opening that up showes 

9 things in total and then if i show hidden files then 12 things show up in total and the RAS Async Adapter shows in a translucent way showing that something is not right with it and then checking the details on it says 

Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)

To fix this problem, reconnect this hardware device to the computer.

not sure how to get maker and model of wifi adapter card? without opening the computer up and trying to read the fine print.

i just tried using Speccy and only showes network card but not wifi.showes wifi is turned off.

Be back after following your codes

Hi,

Thank you for your help.

I tired both drivers and did not work.

I tried compatibility for the older driver and the options for windows 7 or windows 8 it did not give the option for 64 bit.

Hi

If nothing is working then I have to suggest a plug in WiFi via USB dongle.
