Hello Recently ive put together a second computer with some spare parts and a couple of new ones. I did a fresh install of windows the other day and have been using a wireless dongle for an internet connection up until now. I installed a tp link 150mpbs network card and as a result it freezes my pc when loading into windows. I know this is the problem because i took it out and it loaded fine. I also did another fresh install of windows and it changed nothing Any body know if its an easy fix or if not, im thinking its a hardware fault with it. Thanks in advance

Could the network card be defective?

I managed to start in safe mode without freezing, which suggests the issue isn’t with the hardware. It looks like the driver list didn’t show Windows 10 for the compatible OSes. The network card you have is a TL-WN751ND V1.

TP-Link's software often needs installation without the device already connected, leading to unusual situations when Windows 10 attempts to set up drivers for you upon detecting the card.

It seems like you're suggesting there aren't many options unless you locate another user. It also implies there might be no built-in driver compatibility feature.

Yes, you can prevent Windows from automatically downloading drivers. You can adjust settings in Device Manager or use third-party tools to manage driver installations.
