Wireless dongle stops working - help.

Question

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.
