AC 9560 Driver quit working and will not install or update

[EHuggz]

My AC 9560 Driver quit working on my Dell Inspirion 7786 2-in-1 Machine running Windows 10. I tried uninstalling the driver and re-installing it - but now every installation fails. This has been going on for months and no one has a solution. I ended up purchasing an external Netgear wireless USB modem to get back online. I suspect re-installing Windows 10 would solve the problem - but I am trying to avoid that. Must be a registry hack somewhere that will resolve the issue. Any ideas?

Hello EHuggz,

Based on the report attached, you are running Microsoft Windows* 10 Pro 10.0.19041 Build 19041, which is a Windows* preview version. When running a preview build, systems are prone to instability, which may cause Windows* to stop responding while running applications or performing a specific task. It may also have bugs and errors since these versions are not stable. In this scenario, our recommendation is that you revert back to a stable version of Windows (e.g. Version 1909 Build 18363, November 2019 Update) and try installing the latest Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) driver available for your system.

Steps you may try:

1. Use a stable version of Windows* 10: Windows 10 version history

Note: Links to third party sites and references to third party trademarks are provided for convenience and illustrative purposes only. Unless explicitly stated, Intel® is not responsible for the contents of such links, and no third party endorsement of Intel® or any of its products is implied.

2. Perform a Clean Installation of the Wireless Driver

3. OEM driver version 21.50.1.1

Now, the purpose of Windows* Insider Preview builds is to allow people to test new features and software that may be introduced in future releases. Microsoft* expects to receive valuable feedback in order to make improvements. If you would like to continue using this version of Windows* 10, then what we can recommend is that you submit your feedback to Microsoft*.

That is an understandable request except the issues began before the preview build was installed. Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/ghei36>

Hello EHuggz,

In order to troubleshoot this issue, and to gather more information about the root cause of the problem, our recommendation is that you use a stable version of Windows* 10. In this way, we can try to determine if this is a hardware or software issue.

Now, we also understand that preview versions of Windows* 10 provide benefits and allow users to test new features. If you are interested in using the latest preview versions of Windows* 10 to explore what this OS may offer you in the near future, then we suggest that you submit your feedback to Microsoft since troubleshooting these types of issues in an unstable environment may be difficult.
