Dell Venue 8 Pro unable to connect to WIFI
I have had my Venue for a few weeks now, and haven't had any problems with it until today. I use it mainly for school work and as i pulled it out this morning for class, I noticed the internet wasn't connected.
After doing a bit of trouble shooting, I came up with this message "The Dell Wireless 1538 802.11 a/g/n Adapter adapter is experiencing driver- or hardware- related problems."
I find this driver the Dell website, and planned to just download it onto my PC and then transfer it over to my Venue(since obviously I couldn't download it straight to my tablet without WIFI). So I plugged in the USB cable that it comes with, the one for the charger, and my PC doesn't pick up that anything is even plugged in to it.
Has anyone else had this problem, and, more importantly, does anyone have a solution?
Thanks in advance!

Many thanks for the tip, this worked for me having previously tried rebooting several times and using the trouble shooter to no effect

Uninstalled Update for Microsoft Windows (KB4054854) and it's working now.
It happened again on 8/2/18 and Update for Microsoft Windows KB4338424 was uninstalled.
