Hello, my friend built his first PC with a fresh windows install. That all went great.
He also got a ASUS Wireless-N150 USB-N10 Nano Wifi Adapter with it.
We installed the Motherboard drivers, audio, ethernet, chipsets, etc. Then we installed the corresponding wifi asus adapter drivers.
Restarted of course and when the adapter is plugged in, nothing changes. Doesnt appear in network settings, nor does it appear in device manager.
We tried reinstalling the wifi adapter drivers a couple of times, even resetting windows completely and no luck. Even tried the older drivers with no luck.

Geforce GTX 1660 SUPER

Let me know what we can try next.
