Adapter A6100 not functioning

So, I bought the Netgear Adapter A6100 in June, everything was fine, it worked just fine when I updated my laptop to Windows 10, until 2 days ago, normally when i plug the adapter in, it'll light up but this time it didn't, and I just couldn't connect to any 5ghz wifi. I opened Devices, it said that "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" and it "needs troubleshooting", which I did, but nothing happened. I tried to update the driver, disabling and enabling it back but nothing happened. there is nothing wrong with my usb portal. I also tried to uninstall the entire program and install it again (the CD thing that came with it), but that didn't work either. The netgear genie got up to the detecting adapter, and as soon as I plug it in, it either crashes or just closes and nothing else would happen. 

PLEASE help me if you know anything, I need it for school everyday, and I need wifi connection to work on my assignments and all. thank you.

P/s: I made no change to my laptop, absolutely nothing, the adapter just literally stopped working.
