My Asus Q501L laptop cannot start the wifi card despite having updated the driver and restarting. Troubleshooting returns error Code 10. Did you experience or know how to resolve this problem?

Aodhan Arias - Apr 25, 2019

Hey there Tony,

I would recommend first checking the status of the hardware device first. You can view a device’s status from the device’s Properties in Device Manager. It is possible that the driver is corrupted even though it is “updated” fully and could be causing the issue. If so, remove and reinstall the drivers for the device. It could also be that the WiFi card has a hardware issue. There isn’t really anything I know of that you can do besides just replacing it if that’s the case. If it’s new it might be under warrantee but who knows. Unfortunately Code 10 errors are pretty vague and don’t really give a lot of information. Hope this helps.
