Reinstall Intel Dual-Band Wireless Adapter AC-8260

[efficientBasset]

Hello, My wireless adapter (Intel Dual-Band Wireless Adapter AC-8260) in my laptop turned off and would not reactivate. I tried many solutions, including rebooting my laptop, and using the network reset option to reset my drivers. I later found a solution online to fix that problem that might work. However, by that point I had already tried another solution which recommended uninstalling the device in device manager, saying that it would automatically rollback to the previous version upon a system reboot. This did not occur.

My question is: how can I reinstall my wireless adapter driver? I have downloaded it several times from the Intel website, but nothing has changed when that happens. I am currently accessing the internet through a USB adapter, but would prefer to use my built-in wifi support.
