IHave an Asrock 390m-itx/ac mobo. Everything was fine, but then these automatic updates were pushed to my pc, and now the intel wireless bluetooth is screwed up. You can see the little usb icon in the systray toggling on/off continuously, and if you look in device manager, the icon is constantly disappearing and reappearing, and you can hear the windows new connection sound effect constantly going off. Intolerable.

I should note that when I see intel wireless in my device manager, i can uninstall, but there is no checkbox to delete files as well. This does exist on Intel Bluetooth. When I reboot, the Intel Wireless driver is already reinstalled.


I had recently updated Intel BT drivers and after that no BT device would connect to my desktop PC anymore. The BT on/off toggle had disappeared form that right-side panel accessible from the taskbar. When I opened Device Manager, the entire tree of devices would keep on refreshing every 2 seconds, until I manually disabled the Intel BT adapter (which was being continuously reset or something). I tried all manners of drive removal/upgrade/downgrade to no avail. Of course I tried rebooting the computer and even messed a bit with BIOS configs for nothing.


Yep. Like many others, I created an account to say thank you- roughly four years after this thread was created. The solution is still relevant, and it's far and away much easier and less time consuming than any of the other "solutions" I tried.


Edit: It might be important to add that different machines might require a longer or shorter interruption in the power supply for this to work. I've seen one person in this thread who unplugged their machine for 15 minutes, but I only unplugged mine for about 30 seconds.

This morning my computer updated its windows 10 and immediately the wifi connection no longer worked. All other devices run fine, so I checked the manager on my computer and sure enough there is an exclamation point in a triangle next to intel wi-fi ax200 160MHz. The device cannot start. I have updated everything from Windows, to HP, to Intel software and there are no fixes so far. I have uninstalled and reinstalled with no fix. Does anyone have an idea of what to do next before I toss this thing out the window? Thanks.


Thanks! These steps worked and I am now connected wirelessly once again! Although, I skipped step 10 because I couldn't find my Windows Clean Disk tool. Otherwise, I followed all these steps and it fixed the problem.


The executable for the Disk Cleanup applet is here: c:\windows\system32\cleanmgr.exe. Using the search box, just type in 'cleanmgr' and it should find and invoke it. I recommend running this tool weekly.


So I work for the IT department of the Ohio State University. We have a brand new Dell computer that came with a 7265 Adapter. Immediately upon receiving it, we noticed that after several hours, the wireless connection would drop. The adapter would be unable to see any wireless networks at all. If you disable and re-enable the adapter it connects immediately.


"The description for event ID 8000 from source NETwNb64 cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer."


Checking the WLAN-Autoconfig log, we see a pattern. There are three messages that pop up every once in a while, roughly every 2-3 hours. These three messages all arrive in this order within the same second.


followed about 10 seconds later by a disconnection from the wireless networks. After this event it appears that we are no longer able to see any wireless networks until the adapter is reset or the machine is reset.


To be totally honest, I don't know whether any of these events are related, and I am not sure if it's possible there is a hardware misconfiguration, but this is a brand new computer, it has happened with two separate wireless cards (of the same model) and there is no other software installed on the computer that could be interfering with it.


- Go to Windows* Device Manager - Network Adapters, look for the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 and enter the adapter properties, in the Power Management tab, toggle off/on the option "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". Check if the behavior improves when you change this setting.


3. In Control Panel, Device Manager, Network Adapters, right click on the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 and Uninstall it, make sure you mark the option to "Delete the driver software for this device".


I should reiterate that my initial steps before starting this thread was to do a fresh install from an official microsoft ISO of windows 8.1, then immediately install the package you linked to. I did no other configuration or software installation of any kind. Only a moment ago when you had me reboot did I even install the windows updates.


I do occasionally see messages from the windows troubleshooter when I try "troubleshoot my connection" after it drops that say the drivers have a problem. I don't know if that's a meaningful message, but it's what I have to work with :/.


I don't know if it would happen during normal operation because there is no software on the machine and no one can use it until I get this worked out and give it to the professor who ordered it. So far it has only been observed to happen during sleep mode, and not even immediately. It happens only when the computer has been idle for several hours. (At least that I've observed)


@Johns: There is nothing relevant to a wireless adapter in the power settings. (see screenshot below) However, this machine has no Dell software on it at all. It has been formatted and all that has been done was installing a vanilla copy of Windows 8.1 Pro and the driver for this network adapter. I have not even browsed to a website on it, other than the link given above to the driver.


There are no other power plans available. 'Balanced' is the only one that exists. Any other power plans would have to be created, and since there are no settings to change that relate to the wireless card, I would not know how to go about creating such a plan.


Jesler's suggestion about enabling Hyper-V has, indeed, allowed me to access the device's power management settings, and I've disallowed turning the device off to save power. I'm now waiting to see if the problem recurs.


I tried unchecking the "Intel ProSet Wireless bloatware" option at the setup stage, and only check the WiFi link driver, but it's still getting installed.If I uninstall it later from the Add/Remove Programs list it uninstalls the driver too. The computer is Dell Latitude E5540 Notebook.


Extract the *.inf files from the what I presume is a .msi and use Device Manager to select it as the driver to use for the device. It is worth pointing out, that the "bloatware", should just additional drivers for other Proset wireless devices and does not affect performance.


It has a wireless network adapter Intel Wireless-AC9560 160MHz. The problem is it randomly stops working. 1st time i faced this issue was in around June,2020. I got freaked out and just did a system restore, and everything came back to normal.


But I started facing this issue again from starting of Oct. The adapter stops working and the wifi stops cause of it. Error message when I go to properties:This device has stopped working (something of this sort)


Locate the drivers you downloaded back in Step 1. Run as administrator, and follow the wizard to completion. To Run as administrator right-click over the file you downloaded and select the option to Run as administrator.


We have not heard back from you, so we will close this inquiry. Please remember to follow the steps given above, and if after that you keep having this problem, you should contact the OEM as this can be a hardware problem.


3. I went to HP laptop support and downloaded and installed the drivers - rebooted and still no change. When I did a driver update through the device manager, I got a code 10. I have the antivirus and firewall off during trying to do the updates.


The HP drivers for the wireless adapter driver and Bluetooth driver (2 different drivers) do not work for sure - neither does the Windows driver (allowing windows to find the driver on the internet).


I found drivers on the Intel website since this is an Intel product. I have to uninstall and then install through device manager picking out the Intel driver. I reboot - then go into bios through when the PC starts, I hit ESC key repeatedly until I am able to choose to go into BIOS. I load defaults (F9) and then save and exit (F10). Then it works when rebooting. The wireless part and the Bluetooth. Once I hook back up my monitor and USB devices, it goes back to not working.
