New drivers for Windows 10 and Windows 11 devices have just been released by Intel, aimed at solving several network issues, such as the dreaded blue screen of death that pops up under heavy workloads or the ‘No Wi-Fi networks found’ pop-up ‘ when connecting to Miracast devices.
According to Newthe drivers will also address other bugs that are hitting some users’ devices, including a Windows System Event ID 5002 and 5010.
The first code usually appears when DFS Replication (a role in Windows Server that allows you to replicate directories between directories and sites) cannot establish communication with the desired partner. Windows System Event 5010 refers to an event caused when a process serving an application stops responding to a ping.
Prevention is better than cure
The above bugs seem to trigger after users’ PCs resume from standby or restart mode, which is… quite often. You can download the Intel Wi-Fi driver 23.20.0 from the official site and beat away the blue screen of death. Not only are these types of bugs relatively annoying to deal with (especially if you’re constantly getting a blue screen for no real reason), but they also leave your devices vulnerable to viruses.
Even if you haven’t noticed these bugs on your device yet, we still recommend downloading the drivers just to be safe.
