Wireless dongle stops working - help.

Hi,

Am running a wireless 150Mps adapter usb dongle on a Dell Precision 490 desktop. The dongle has stopped working. In Device Manager appears the following:-

"Network adapters.

802.11n USB Wireless LAN Card #2.

This device cannot start. (Code 10)".

Have searched for drivers in C drive and internet, Windows 10 tells me optimal drivers are already installed. This dongle worked flawlessly for years and has suddenly stopped working.

Help please.

Thanks.

    Inserted a spare dongle and got the same message but with a "#3" on the end: "802.11n USB Wireless LAN Card #3".

    Does this mean the problem is with the pc and not the dongles please?

    Thanks.

    Dear ieee488,

    Yesterday I requested a password reset and was informed that an email had been sent. No email arrived. Please advise. Thank you.
