[SOLVED] Wireless Adapter not recognised

[PsychNet]

I recently upgraded my wireless adapter from a geeric chinese one to an Intel AX200. I installed the card and the neccesary drivers, and it isnt recognised in Device Manager or Adaper Options. If its usefull, im running Windows 10 Pro 64bit and i using the Intel PROSET Wireless 21.90.3 driver. Any help?

Thanks,

In Device Manager > View tab is "Show hidden devices" checked?

In between wireless adapters did you use a wired adapter? If so be sure that that wired adapter is disabled.

AX200 is in laptop format (NGFF M.2/mini PCIe). Only a few adapters exist for desktops. Out of curiosity which is this? Laptop or Desktop?

I enabled 'show hidden devices' and it didn't show up, and i didnt use a wired adapter.
(Sorry if that sounded mallicious)

It shouldn't make a difference, but did you connect the Blutooth connector to a USB2.0 header before you installed the drivers?

The proset drivers are intended for IT Admins.

Try this instead:
