Good evening,

The wrieless adapter that is in my  Gigabyte x570 Aorus Pro WiFi motherboard stopped working somehow. I can connect with ethernet (which is what I am doing now). Windows troubleshooter says it may be the drivers, but the adapter properties say I have the most up to date driver.

 

I must confess I did interrupt a Network Reset, but then allowed the full 5 minutes to elapse and did another.

 

Can someone please help me troubleshoot?

 

Thank you in advance for your time.

 

Sincerely,

pabadger

Windows troubleshooting says there might be a problem with the drivers, I have attached the screenshot. I also attached the XML file when I clicked on detailed report.

 

IP config says:

Do you want me to uninstall the device from Device Manager and then run the .exe for the driver from the manufacturer (in this case Intel)?
