PC is refusing my wireless adapter

I've had this wireless adapter from NETGEAR since October 30th 2015, I have it my laptop for the time being until a few days ago I bought a brand new custom built gaming PC, so I obviously put the wireless adapter out of my windows 10 laptop and put it in my gaming PC, installs fine no problem what's so ever, so install some virus protection 360 total security, play some steam games, and I come back to my PC the next day, boot it up and it was saying I couldn't detect it so my immediate thought was the drivers had corrupted so I reinstall the drivers, still not detected, (with a crossed out Ethernet logo at the bottom corner of my screen) I did a system restore, didn't work, installed drivers from the NETGEAR website, didn't work, looked at some guides online, stilr l didn't work, and I just don't know what else to do, is it my virus protection? Did the operating system go wrong? Has a setting been changed? Any ideas? My PC specs and OS is own below

Try it with your anti-virus shut down / uninstalled, see what happens.
