Wi-Fi doesn't work!! (Network Controller Error 28)

[MidnightSenata]

I have an Inspiron Desktop (3847, Early 2013, Windows 8.1) and after a windows update, my wi-fi no longer works. It says that the Network Controller (now listed under Other Devices) no longer has the drivers installed. Even though I try to download the proper drivers from Dell and Atheros it doesn't fix the problem. Please help!

Try system restore and go to a date before the Windows update.

I tried that at first and it worked, but when I turned my computer off, it simply updated itself automatically and now it won't let me return to the point where the update installed itself.

You should have disabled the Automatic update. I also forgot about it.
Try manually installing the driver (right click in Device manager and update driver).
Another option would be Windows repair, if the Windows DVD is available).
