I can't delete the driver software for my driver

I'm having trouble connecting to my vpn so I think my wireless adapter drivers are corrupt. I've had this problem before on a previous laptop, and reinstalling the wireless adapters drivers helped, provided the driver was deleted from the computer and the latest version from the computer manufacturer's website was installed.

So I need to uninstall and DELETE my wireless driver from my computer. It should not reinstall itself when I restart.

I can't delete the driver software for a driver from my computer. The delete checkbox is missing.

Below is the expected behaviour of what should appear.

Solution 1:

Please create a System Restore save point before doing any of the advice from below, to be able to rollback to your current state in case of a problem.

The free Driver Store Explorer can help to delete drivers:

• Run as Administrator
• Click on Enumerate
• Find the driver in the list and check-mark to select
• Select "Force deletion" and click on "Delete Package".

If Windows still updates the driver on reboot, you may prevent this by the method in this answer before using Driver Store Explorer. You could also try to immediately install your driver after running Driver Store Explorer.
