Wireless Adapter (PCI TP-LINK TL-WN751ND v2)

[Skyren]

I've deleted some values in registry under this path. It cause many problems, like instant freeze after OS being loaded or not working safe mode with neworking... all this because of Wireless Adapter being plugged.

After it has been unplugged, everything started to work fine again. I was expriencing issues with installing my drivers for an adapter since Windows 10 is not compatitible with such adapters... so I had to change compatibility to Windows 7 and it went fine until it showed up another warning. I was confused so I did check the PCI itself. It was put correcty but didn't work. I even switched to another slot, but same result. Status LED is showing no activity at all, like MB is ignoring it.

I made conclusion it cannot be by faulty HW since it was working properly until the deletion of registry values.

Now, most of the folders are empty and I lack of Local Area Connection/Wireless.
Is there any expert into the registry that could help me out?
I really don't wanna reinstall nor anything similar.

Would be really gladful!

Thats the only prob with their adapters. Most of them dont have Win10 drivers

The adapter here WDN3200 doesnt have Win10 drivers either (until Win10 AU came out). Windows 10 the previous versions installed drivers, but the 5 GHZ connection didnt work.

Even tho this is an unofficial site these may work. Uninstall what you installed, if it installed anything

Here

64 bit

Get the 32 or 64 bit driver extract it. Then go to the device in device manager / dbl click on it / driver tab / update driver / browse /let me pick / have disk

Go to the extracted folder. Load the inf file

 

[Skyren]

It shows blank list...

I tried this with official ones before advice, either blank list.
I think it's cause of registry, not the driver, but it can be also related.

Will Update help me? Will it fix the registry issues? Currently having 10586 build, while 14393 is being offered by Windows 10 Update Assistant. The reason I turned off Windows Update service is because I don't have enough of space for it. I am willing to free some space (25 GB), if there is guarantee of fixing it.

 

[Paul NZ]

Well you wont know if it works till you try.

Whats blank?? When you go to have disk then go to the file you extracted? Works fine here. You have to go to the extracted folder with the driver in it

It brings up a window with Gigabyte and Qualcomm. You have to select Qualcomm, then select Qualcomm AR9227 in the right window

If youre running out of space, I would get a bigger hdd

 

[Skyren]

This happens when I select athw10/athw10x...

I am currently unable to buy extra HW. As you could notice, I am also trying to fix my 1 TB HDD, which persists as impossible.

 

[Paul NZ]

I would say, it's what you deleted, that's why it's blank

Did you backup the registry before you deleted those entries? Which entry did you delete exactly??


Get ccleaner do a custom install. It may remove some files and give you some more space

 

[Skyren]

Probably. I do CClean sometimes and I do backup it's registry, but no such path included. I deleted most of the sub-Network entries (first post) and they're blank now. I don't remember exactly, but they were named Local Area Connection/Wireless #2 - #12 or so, one VPN as well. I did so because the adapter was named #2.

I made 9 GB spare of 8 GB required so let it work and I'll let you know.

I would do a clean install of Windows 10 AU. You can use the mediacreation tool to get the ISO

Then you either burn it or use rufus and put it on a flash drive. Then boot from it. How big exactly is the hard drive?

 

[Skyren]

I did update Windows successfully, but it didn't fix the problem. I also see changes in registry.

SFC result

 

[Paul NZ]

I would still do a clean install. If you deleted entries in the registry without backing it up. It'll never work

 

[Skyren]

Well I definitely won't do that, at least not for now. It can work by copying entries from different PC?
I have only few values in Network, whereas others have much more.

PATH: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Network
PATH: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network

 

[Paul NZ]

As long as its the same version of windows 32 or 64 bit. It should work.

Export the keys on another pc, save them as reg files. Then dbl click on them to import them into your registry

 

[Skyren]

Only system I currently own is my Desktop PC and Laptop, which has Windows 10 Home x64.

Could you, please? 😛

 

[Paul NZ]

I'm using 64 bit as well Pro.

 

[Skyren]

I'm using 64 bit as well Pro.

Feel free to post them here, I would be really happy to try. I can't mess it more than it is.

 

[Skyren]

What if I delete those entries completely, would Windows repair them like he does for most of them?

 

[Paul NZ]

Dont think so. Try this see if it repairs / fixes it

 

[Skyren]

I did exactly this yesterday, took quite long. SFC showed no errors after this repair but didn't work. I am going to delete them tho.

 

[Paul NZ]

SFC? Thats not the only thing in this tool. Well I dont even know if thats in this tool

It tries to repair other things as well

 

[Skyren]

Before SFC showed errors, after running this Tweaking.com tool no errors whatsoever... that's what I meant.

 

[Paul NZ]

But did you run any of the tools in that program?

 

[Skyren]

Open Repair is what I did. There is stated: "This program doesn't fix every problem in Windows", so I guess repairing Networking isn't the part of the tool.

 

[Paul NZ]

Does it show an X on the taskbar for it? If it does right mouse on it then troubleshoot. It may fix it
