If a program or driver written for an earlier version of Windows doesn't run properly in current Windows, then you could try usingĬompatibility mode on the program to hopefully allow it to run properly. Run the program in the compatibility mode. If the issue persists, install the drivers for Windows 7 in compatibility mode and check if it helps. I suggest you to follow the troubleshooting steps provided in the below Microsoft article and check if it resolves the issue.Īs a work around, Download and install the latest driver from the manufacturer website and check if it helps. This issue might occur if the device settings are incorrect, corrupted or incompatible drivers or due to hardware problems. Let me help you.ĭo you receive any error code or error message on the screen? I regret the inconvenience caused to you. Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Provide) an updated driver that doesn't do this.

Is there anything I can do (event log etc.) to find out what's causing this issue? Maybe I can change one of the advanced settings of the device to prevent this happening? Failing that, it would be nice if MS could look into providing (or getting Realtek to Windows 10 should work with existing hardware supported by qualifying OS versions, especially as MS are so keen for users to upgrade. I'm not interested in hearing that this is a "manufacturer problem" or that I should buy a new adapter. I also tried installing (manually) the TP-link Windows 8.1 圆4 driver and it seemed to work but suffered from exactly the same problem as the default Realtak driver, so I have now rolled back to that.

Windows recognised the device during the install and installed drivers for it (Realtek driver version 1027.4.630.2015) which it says are up to date and, allegedly, "the best driver". Occasionally it disappears completely and I have to unplug and re-insert the USB cable. Since upgrading (clean install) to Windows 10 Pro, the adapter keeps dropping the connection under load and (apparently) having to be reset. I have a Realtek RTL8192CU USB Wireless LAN Adapter (manufactured by TP-Link) which was working fine under Windows 7 SP1.
