Windows 10 Ltsb 2016 End Of Life

[Marquez Feliciano]

Ithen re-installed WirelessSetup.exe and it installed with no issues. And I now have driver 20.70.23.1 from 3/21/21 installed with no issues. Newer WAP's at my work were no longer working with the old drivers from 2016. No idea why Intel felt it was necessary to limit the installer to newer versions of windows. LTSB is not end-of-life yet.

Open device manager, scroll down to network adapters and double click on your wireless nic, Intel Dual Bad Wireless-AC 8260 in my case. Go to the driver tab and choose update driver and choose browse for driver software on your computer. Paste in the location from earlier and make sure search subfolders is checked.

Yes, you can get the driver package to install, by hook or by crook, but there is a reason why it was not installing, namely that Intel does not test the new drivers with builds this old and thus blocked it from installing. Intel typically only validates with the current and three most-previous Windows 10 updates. The new build may work just fine, but Intel doesn't certify what it doesn't test. You are on your own using these newer, untested builds.
