A6100 drivers crash without error during install section

Question

When I open both the adapter and standalone EXEs they both crash once the preparing to install bar reaches 60% every time I open them they then proceed to leave a ghost background process behind in my task manager labeled “InstallShield (R) 64-bit Setup Engine” one will appear in my TM per attempt at installation and won’t close on there own without me closing them using TM I can recreate this issue on video if needed it seems to me the driver installer really doesn’t want to open net gear genie it doesn’t even get to that screen any help would be appreciated

Do you have the latest drivers for your Windows machine. Not the drivers for the adapter.
&nbsp;
What is TM? Who knows. You are the one who used that.

I used TM as a abbreviation for Task Manager so I didn’t have to type it 5 times I thought the context I used TM in made it pretty obvious I was referring to task manager but I guess not so obvious and I have the latest windows 10 version available before September 2024

There is a well worn way of dealing with that. Read any newspaper article.
&nbsp;
You write "Task Manager" first time around and put the TM in brackets afterwards.
&nbsp;
Like this: Task Manager (TM). Then you can write TM the next four times.
&nbsp;
It avoids confusion and saves time in the long run.
