Question

Laptop Wireless driver broken

Feb 18, 2016 6:23PM PST

I have recently tried to up update my wireless network adapter and it said "this device is working properly" and that the drivers are up to date. But not my wifi has shut off and a yellow sign has showed up in the network notifications yet is shows up normal in the device manager. No wireless options are available in the network connections.

The "roll back driver" button is greyed out and unclickable.

In the future add those make and model numbers. The pictures are quite small.
