Hello everyone,

Mobo: Asus Maximus VI Formula
OS: Win 8.1

I recently updated my drivers, and when i restarted my computer i noticed that my network had a red x on it. I tried rolling back the driver to previous version with no success. Every time I would try re-installing the driver, more and more space would be taken up on my C drive.

After trying to re-install the driver the computer froze and after having to manually restart my computer it would freeze at the startup screen and I could not get past that point after restarting multiple times. The only way to actually get into Windows was to disable my wifi adapter (which came with the motherboard) through the BIOS but then obviously I would have no internet.


UPDATE: The only way to get my wifi working is to disable the bluetooth in BIOS and enable the wifi adapter. Basically as of right now I can either have my bluetooth OR my wifi on. If there is a way to fix this problem so that I can have both on at the same time, that would be great. Please let me know what you think!


Please help!! If you need more information please ask.
