WNDA3100v3 causing BSOD on network connect Windows 10
I just made a clean install of Windows 10 on my machine:

Ah... finally... I've got it working.
Used a wired connection to update Windows 10 to v1809 and then installed WNDA3100v3 1.0.0.13 As Administrator (it could have been the As Administrator option that may have made all the difference, and not so much the Windows updates). No more BSODs this time.

Welcome to NETGEAR Community!
Can you please try installing your WNDA3100v3 adapter while your Windows 10 computer is in Safe Mode with Networking? The steps on how to boot your computer to the mode I recommended is outlined here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-ph/help/12376/windows-10-start-your-pc-in-safe-mode

Tachyon,
Glad you got it working. I'll try this approach at some point. This is way off topic, but I still can't understand why Microsoft decided to assume every machine is a shared workspace when they integrated NT into the mainstream design. The whole 'run as admin' concept doesn't make any sense for a workspace that only one person ever uses and causes all kinds of problems everytime windows introduces a new iteration.

Hi Blanca,
I tried doing just that, but oddly when I booted in safe mode I couldn't use my keyboard... I am sad to say my solution was to pick up a linksys adapter, which works fine :/
