WPN111 doesn't work with Windows 10

 

I upgraded Windows 7 to 10 and things seemed initially fine. But after a while the WPN111 was no longer able to see any wireless networks, but the blue LED was still flashing. I reinstalled the WPN111 driver, and now the blue LED doesn't even flash.

 

Has anyone managed to get the WPN111 to work under Windows 10?

      This is a little strange, since the system compatibilty report prior to running the Windows 10 update stated that my system was OK.

       

      Thanks for the info, looks like I'll have to buy a cheap USB adapter.

    Right click the wireless network icon in the lower right hand corner near the date and time, right click on "Troubleshoot problems", windows will search for the problem and then your WPN111 adapter should work.  It worked for me, the only thing it changed was my networks name when I click on the wireless network icon.  It's now called "Virtual Profile", but when I go into the "Network and Sharing Center", it shows my WPN111 connected to my home router.  

     

    Hope it works for you as it did for me,
