My WiFi connection is broken. My computer shows error code 10 or 43, which means no internet at all. I tried turning the driver off and back on a couple of times to fix it. It worked for those two tries, but now nothing helps even after I took the driver out and put it back in. I can't get any internet because my laptop has no network option available. Do you have another way to make this work?

Is this Intel Wireless Adapter working? If it came with your motherboard, tell me what model it is. Do you have a BIOS version number? If this laptop is on the road, let's know who made it and the model name. Then check if both the BIOS and OS need updating (update them in that order). You could borrow a friend's computer to plug into the internet, get the latest driver for your adapter, and install it using an elevated command like right-clicking the installer and choosing "Run as Administrator."

I have an MSI Stealth 15m laptop and my wifi driver keeps having problems. I tried fixing it by uninstalling the driver, reinstalling a new one, and turning it off then on again—but nothing worked. Then I found out that when I unplugged all my USB things and restarted my laptop, the wifi driver started working again. Anyone have an idea how to solve this? I can't use my mouse or external keyboard because they are connected via USB; if I don't unplug them, my Intel WiFi driver won't work.

I have a MSI Stealth 15m Laptop with an I7 processor and RTX 3060 graphics card. I tried to fix the Wi-Fi problem by uninstalling and reinstalling the Intel driver from their website, but that didn't help. When I remove all my USB gadgets and restart my laptop, the Wi-Fi works fine. But if I plug those devices back in after restarting, it stops working again.
