Network protocols missing

VMcMa — Wed, 25 Nov 2015 20:49:22 GMT

Since I purchased the NUC 5i5 RYH well over a year ago I have had intermittent wireless problems.

I initially set it up under Windows 8.1 64 bit. When I would lose wireless connectivity, it would normally be resolved by the troubleshooter which would reset the connection. Sometimes it would indicate that wireless had been disabled so I would go into device manager and enable it. This would be repeated every week or so.

I have now upgraded to Windows 10 and while it was without issue initially I am now getting the new error of one or more wireless protocols are missing. I can resolve this only by reinstalling the driver which is a pain.

I ran scannow without any issues. Windows updates are current. I changed anti-virus programs just in case (AVG has given me some strange results on another computer).

Any advice would be appreciated.

WallabyACT,

What wireless adapter do you have installed?

Thanks for your response and my apologies on this one as I have created a red herring.

I have had longstanding wireless issues with this mini-PC but when I decided to start in safe mode to isolate this problem I found that I had left it in safe mode from the last issue I recently had - clearly some of the network protocols were not being loaded.
