Help. Every time W10 updates on tablet, network drivers disappear

[frank pik]

Not that it probably matters but its an Acer W4. Works great with the OS aside from this stupid issue that happened with the preview and now with every stinking update on the final version

That's an odd one, sounds like driver corruption to me.

1) Get the latest network driver from (important) - [URL="https://forums.windowscentral.com/e?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kqzyfj.com%2Fclick-7301867-12102890-1432155017000%3Fsid%3DUUwpUvbUpU3289707%26url%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fus.acer.com%252Fac%252Fen%252FUS%252Fcontent%252Fdrivers%2522&token=rt2niisu]Download Drivers and Manuals | Acer Official Site[/URL]

If you need the model information, shut down and hold the volume up button on the tablet and then press & hold the on button, once the logo pops up, hold for a few seconds and you will get into the bios. It should display the information on the front page. Alternatively look at the product information booklet(s).

2) Open "This PC", you can do this by using file explorer and the quick shortcuts on the left hand side.

3) System properties -> device manager

4) Tap & hold on the network adapter in questions and press uninstall (tick the box that says delete this driver).

5) if prompted to restart, restart.

6) Extract and install the driver downloaded at step one.

This may help resolve this issue, let us know how you get on .

thanks for the reply. That's what I've been doing but a bit tedious and hoping for an easier way but oh well
