Modify Registry
Use the RegEdit command. Expand the “DHCP” subkey in SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE hivey. There you’ll find a string named “DHCP”. Change its value to “Afd”. Delete anything specified earlier. Save it and restart your PC.

Delete WMI Folder
After logging in from an Administrator account, set required read, write and access permissions for “Windows” folder. Go to this directory and delete a subfolder named “WMI”.
Safe Mode
Boot your computer in the Safe Mode. (Hey, don’t do it improperly. Use a proper way of configuring Boot tab settings in the MSCONFIG tool). That way you’ll not be able to load any conflicting application/process that creates hurdles.
Re-enable Network Adapter
Go to the Network and Sharing Center. It’s under Network and Internet page of the Control Panel. Find this category: View your active active networks. This category enlists all your active connections. Disable the active network adapter. Now restart your PC and re-enable.

Expand top node in Device Manager > Network Adapter. Right click your active adapter. Select it to start the wizard. That wizard lets you update your network adapter. Here you go! Find the latest version or browse and locate the downloaded driver file.
