Recently did a fresh install of Win10 on a new drive (SSD boot drive), updated to the latest Intel ProSet Software (Wireless_19.50.1_PROSet64_Win10.exe) immediately. WIFI would start dropping within minutes. A Disable/Enable of WIFI would work, sometimes. Toggling Airport Mode would also work. But sometimes it would just hang. When in the middle of browsing, the browser would freeze, and the WIFI would show "Connect, No Internet", but that was false because no other WIFI in the area would show up (like usual). System would not stay connected long enough to download, much-less reinstall drivers. The only thing that would work, would be a complete uninstall of the ProSet software AND uninstall device (within Device Manager), and reboot. This would install the stock drivers (17.15.0.5 - 2/22/20015) drivers, which so far have been working fine. I'm afraid to "Update Driver" in the device Properties, or re-install the 19.50.1 version of the PROSet software/drivers.
I'd prefer to be on the latest drivers, and if there are any logs or System Logs I can share, let me know. The main errors I see on Event Viewer are NETwNb64, NDIS, and WLAN-AutoConfig related.
Cut and pasted as follows:
