A6100 Loading drivers
I am having issues getting the drivers to load in Windows Server 2016 TP 5.. The drivers I have did load fine in TP3 and TP4 but not TP5. If I run the setup, it says that it can not find the adapter. The device manager does find the adapter. If I try to update drivers it tells me that there is an invalid section in the INF file.
This is what I had to do, Microsoft issue!!

Hi Sli7de,
Please check the system requirements of the adapter under Tech Specs. Your OS may not be supported.
