Hi,
I am having the same issue with my WNA3100 V3, after I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10.
If I go to the network and sharing center, my wi-fi adapter says it is disabled. When I try to enable it, the button still says disabled. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver with Windows 10. I get to a step asking me to plugin my adapter. I plug it in and click next. After that, I see nothing. It appears that the wireless genie is incompatible with Windows 10.
I have an Intel Xeon processor. I just received a notification today that my PC was ok to upgrade to Windows 10.

Hi All,
After upgrading to Windows 10, please make sure to use the Windows 10 driver of your adapters.

I'm having the same problem. Sometimes the WNA3100 connects for a few minutes then it disconnects itself again. It's not just the network either, the whole wi-fi adapter says it is disabled. The only way to get it working again for a few minutes is by taking the adapter out and plugging it in again.
I think the driver for Windows 10 is highly unstable.

Hi WJvanEden,
Are you using the standalone driver in installing the adapter? If not, uninstall the driver and use the standalone.

Hi JamesGL,
Yes I have, I'm using the standalone driver.
I've tried manually updating it as well through the device manager but it just says I'm using the latest driver version.
