Intel WiFi driver can not start (code 10)

[Arvis Negraschis]

Hi.
I have an ASUS e56u laptop that I updated from Windows 7 to 10.
Since the update the -Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wifi N-6150-
driver is not starting up. It is the newest version (ver15.12.0.9).
What can I do?

Check the adapter properties . If it is anything like the 6250 then you'll want to NOT let the machine turn off the adapter to save power, only allow wifi G and set the channel width to auto20/40 and see if that works.

I do not think that adapter is a good piece of kit at all. The 6250 version in my laptop had a lot of trouble with the insider releases. I finally turned it off and used a dongle.

I am planing to buy a USB WiFi adapter. May be Intel will update that driver some day.
