How to Fix Corrupted WiFi Drivers in Windows 10

First, try performing a disk cleanup to free up space on your C drive and potentially resolve any issues with corrupted system files. Here’s how to do it:

Disk Cleanup

Open “File Explorer”
Click on “This PC”
Right-click on “C:”
Click on “Properties”
Click on “Disk Cleanup”
Click on “Clean up system files”
Select every option in the list except “Download”
Click on “OK”

If the disk cleanup doesn’t resolve the issue, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling the WiFi driver. Here’s how:

Uninstall and Reinstall WiFi Driver

Press Windows X and select “Device Manager”
Expand “Network adapters”
Right-click on your wireless adapter and select “Uninstall device”
Restart your computer
Windows will automatically reinstall the driver
If the driver doesn’t install automatically, you can download it from your manufacturer’s website and install it manually

Another option is to update the WiFi driver to the latest version. Here’s how:

Update WiFi Driver

Press Windows X and select “Device Manager”
Expand “Network adapters”
Right-click on your wireless adapter and select “Update driver”
Click “Search automatically for updated driver software”

If the above steps don’t work, you can try resetting your network adapter. Here’s how:

Reset Network Adapter

Press Windows X and select “Command Prompt (Admin)” or “Windows PowerShell (Admin)”
Type the following command and press Enter:
netsh winsock reset
Type the following command and press Enter:
netsh int ip reset
Restart your computer

If you’re still experiencing issues, you can try performing a system restore to a previous point in time when your WiFi was working correctly. Here’s how:

System Restore

Press Windows S and search for “Create a restore point”
Click on “Create a restore point”
Click on “System Restore”
Follow the on-screen instructions to restore your system to a previous point in time

If none of the above steps work, you may need to reinstall Windows 10 as a last resort. This will erase all your data, so make sure to back up important files before proceeding.
