Late 2020 Windows 10 Update - WiFi Broken?

[ChrisM]

Afternoon all. It has been a few months since I was around, hope all are well.
Won't have time to go through all the new posts today, but have been meaning to post a quick thread about WiFi on the GPD Win again.
Following the most recent big update to Windows 10, I found WiFi wasn't working (device didn't have drivers installed in Device Manager).

I did not try the process at https://droix.co.uk/wifi-windows-10-creators-update-on-a-droidbox-gpd-win/ (might still work?).
I right clicked the device's entry in Device Manager, Update Driver, let me choose which driver to install, had 3 listed. I selected the entry starting with "Microsoft", one of two with long names. WiFi then worked again.

Can post screenshots if needed.

Whatever kinds of tweaks GPD made to the older models tended to just not play nice with the big Windows updates. I think things have been smoother with the newer devices though (P2 Max, etc.)
Good to hear you managed to get it working all the same though. When in doubt, check drivers. If reinstalling drivers doesn't work, back your stuff up and nuke the system with a rollback/reinstall!
