Hi:

I see many Wi-Fi drivers that are listed on the support page.

The hardware ID in your post indicates that the Wi-Fi card model is an Intel 8260 Wi-Fi adapter.

The parent hardware ID is a PCI express component on the motherboard (which works the M.2 slot the Wi-Fi card is plugged into).

What I suggest you do is this...

Install the Intel chipset driver and restart the PC.

Then install the Intel Wi-Fi driver.

You also need the Intel Bluetooth driver for the Wi-Fi card.

You're very welcome. 

Sorry that didn't work for you. 

Unfortunately, I don't have any other suggestions for you to try.
