I have realtek 8188 wireless adapter that came installed on my laptop. After having to do a factory reset to get rid of a virus, it sometimes stops working out of nowhere and troubleshoot says wireless adapter cannot start. device properties says error code 10. half the time it doesn't even show up in my network devices. does not detect networks or anything. never know if i'll be able to connect to the internet. please help!!!!
 
Solution
You should contact your laptop manufacturer.

But, if you don't want to wait on the phone, first verify you have the proper driver installed.
