After installing Windows 10 today my WiFi will not connect. I have tried updating the driver (Ralink RT5390 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adaptor) and it tells me its upto date. im assuming this driver is the issue but not sure how i can fix this.
My laptop model is: HP Pavilion g6-1240sa Notebook, Windows 7 home premium (x64)

Hi, @chris_Joen
The picture of the wireless card on your PC's support page shows it to be a Ralink wireless card.
If that is the case, see if the W10 Ralink wireless card driver works any better.

If that doesn't resolve the problem, unfortunately, I won't be able to help you any further with this matter.

Thanks! I downloaded an installed the driver.
However, the problem must be in windows network settings , because if I drop my LAN connection (fiber...) the Wifi connectivity stays on, as I would like to. Running both at the same time leds to drop in wifi connectivity, as explained earlier. So it´s a matter of network hirarki.
Can´t rememberd in windows settings where I last changed just that preference.
Thanks!

Hello I've the same issue, but when i search for new drivers for my Wi-Fi card It says there aren't any compatible with Windows 10
What can I do?

Hi, @Leus_21 :
Driver support from Realtek ended for the RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter ended with W8.
This was the final driver released for that model card.
If the auto install doesn't work, try manually installing the driver.
This package contains the driver installation package for the Realtek RTL8188CE wireless LAN Controller in the supported notebook models running a supported operating system.
