My computer is running fine but when I use an imaging program it suggests I update my network driver. I Googled this and a lot of people are using an outdated driver.
It is not solved by the trsditinal routes, rollback or reinstall.
The article states that MS should have warned those who upgraded to 10 this would happen and to update the driver before upgrading the OS.
One solution recommended is:
Using a command prompt enter reg delete HKCR\CLSID\{988248f3-a1ad-49bf-9170-676cbbc36ba3} /va /f
Then command prompt enter netcfg -v -u dni_dne
reboot and the network adapter should be ok now.
It seems easy enough if it works. It would be nice to get an updated network driver. I could not paste the second command so I hope it is accurate - I checked several times.
Does anyone with developer skills know if this is feasible?
I don't have developer skills, but the scenario you have referenced is for people who don't have wireless access after upgrading. In fact, it is for people who's systems don't recognize their wireless adapter As far as I know it only effects people with unsupported VPN's. I don't believe it effects your network adapter nor will do anything for you if you already have internet access… but I could be wrong. So step one would be to see if what you are deleting even exists. To do that, open an elevated command prompt and enter:
netcfg –s n
This will output installed network protocols, drivers, and services. Look for Dni_Dne. If it doesn't appear, then the rest of your commands won't do anything either as what they do is delete it. If you didn't install a Vpn, you won't have it.
For what it is worth, I see most people deleting the whole key rather than resetting anything in it (either way should work. I just think removing the key is cleaner). That would be:
However, I'm a firm believer in "If it a'int broke - don't fix it". If you are not currently having a problem, I'd just ignore the warning the imaging program throws. However, other opinions will probably vary.
