Killer wireless driver error (Code 10 and Code 43)
- The issue was a driver issue. It was resolved for me after Intel issued a fix. Please try to update to the newest driver.
I would like to note that I have ((Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz)) under my Network Adapter.
I am using an MSI GF65 Thin 10SDR, I have a 1660 TI and i710750H. I dont know if those have anything to do with the issue but thought it would be good to know.
I would like to start with this. Whenever my internet goes out, I head to my WiFi settings and troubleshoot, it finds a fix, I apply the fix, theres chance that the internet may come back. I believe it resets my network driver and that somehow works. A completely random amount of time later code 43 pops up again, could be 3 seconds, could be 30 minutes.
After that I try to uninstall the driver, afterwards I would shutdown my computer, it may work and it may not work, but same as last time its only temporary before it inevitably goes out again. If I restart my computer and it doesn't connect to the internet, it gives me a code 10 because it cant even startup.
Ill save some reading time, Reinstalling the drivers doesnt work, rolling back doesnt work, I updating after rolling back and it still didnt work. After doing other things youtubers told me to do that may or may not have anything really to do with the problem, it still doesnt work. Im thinking BIOS may be the reason but I dont know. This is a very frustrating situation for me and I have no idea why its acting like this.
O513-Epsilon Thanks.
Everyone, try removing the driver then shutting down the OS, not reset/reboot. I've been fighting this for 2 days straight and even after a complete OS reinstall/downgrade from 11 to 10 the problem is still there. Immediately after the reinstall the wifi adapter worked, but after a few reboots it went back to the same issues/events in the system log. Then I tried removing the driver and shutting down completely before powering back on and the wifi is now working. For how long who knows, but give this a shot if you are struggling.
hey people, I think I fixed my issue because I haven’t had this wifi issue for a couple days now. I finally managed to replace my BIOS to the newest version and once I did I had to restart my computer after it restarted itself from the BIOS update. So two restarted, but I have been getting good wifi connection.
good luck y’all- None of these "fixes" permanently fix the problem. I have a different adapter "Intel Wireless AC 9462 Adapter" but I've seen similar problems on many Wifi adapters and everything points back to Microsoft and Windows Updates. The problem has been ongoing since June. Various fixes work from 1 day to 2 weeks and then I login and No WiFi.
Fixes tried, none of which permanently resolves the issue:
run cmd prompt as admin:
netsh winsock reset
and
netsh int ip reset
this used to work then stopped working.
Next, Uninstall the Driver in Device Manager, shutdown and unplug for at least 30 minutes.
also tried going into the BIOS, installing all the updated drivers for my system from Dell, etc, etc.
The problem ALWAYS comes back. No Wifi and error Code 43.
Seeing the tons of users all having similar issues is extremely maddening.- Hey Leila, I have actually encountered this issue once again. I though I had it fixed but apparently not. Very maddening indeed.
My next step in this is to upgrade to windows 11 and hope that works, if it doesn’t I might revert back but idk.
If that doesn’t work then I’m guessing this is going to be a hardware issue.
Also you can try to clear your registry.

If none of those don’t work please come back with any helpful information intel man has.
Had this issue with Code 10 out of the blue while working. Using Killer Wi-Fi AX1650i. Tried to update the driver, but the version was the latest. Tried to roll back the driver, but didnt work and updated back to the latest version - again nothing. I was about to Uninstall the driver and bang my head, but saw somewhere it might be due to not updated Bluetooth Windows Driver. Updated the driver, restarted the computer and voila - it all works. Just in case someone else faces the issue in 2023
RocketMachine THIS WORKED FOR ME!!!! Thank the lord, everything else wasnt working..tried like 8 of these remedies. The key was to shut it down after you uninstall driver and adapter...NOT restart it. Waited a bit and fired it up and we are back in action. Thank you.
This worked for me as well. Thank you very much! There’s few minutes since I did your solution so I can’t confirm if it is permanent, but whenever I face the same problem I’ll do the same. Thank you again
