A6200 Wireless Adapter - Causing Windows 10 to Flicker Desktop
So as odd as it may seem, whenever I connect wirelessly to my router using my A6200 adapter, my desktop flickers itself off and on continuiously until I restart the system. The only way I have gotten past this is to restart my computer, and before I log on I must disconnect from any wireless connection. Once on the desktop I can connect and have no issue. While this work around is a quick fix there is no reason why I should have to manually connect every time I log onto my computer.
This is not a graphics or memory issue. I have tried two different adapters and have the same issue. I have tried both windows 10 and windows 8 drivers and have had the persisting issue. Has anyone had the same issue or advise me in anyway?

All drivers for the system have been updated, all windows updates have been installed, have tried all drivers for the netgear adapters. I am at a loss.

Hey! just jumping on here to say I had the same problem while trying to fix my A6200 connectiviy issues and ended up reinstalling the os all over since the problem was explorer.exe crashing and booting over and over causing that flicker effect. Other than that I have no idea how it was caused but must be something to do with A6200 only and a clean reinstall should fix it
So far, all I have seen are people with problems regarding windows 10 and their A6200. I will be doing a clean install when I upgrade, but I have been holding off waiting for a driver update from netgear. Are you having any problems after a clean install, which driver are you using, and are you able to connect to AC bands?
Hello everyone
I would take a look at this thread I linked we have some fixes for the A6200 for windows 10 we are also collecting info about issues users are having with windows 10 and working on a solution.
