Networking via WiFi dongle no longer works after trying OpenSUSE, ?

Hi, I got an old HP i5 desktop running windows 10, basic, which wants too upgrade with a 6gb download to a newer version. I had it connected to a new WiFi dongle by Realtek. It detects and connects to my WiFi with a password. This computer I am using is in the same room, and connects fine, and is also Windows 10.

After I tried Gecko Live, and tried connecting to the net, it would not connect even though it had the detection of my router and the password. It is a derivative of OpenSUSE. Booting back into Windows 10, and now it no longer connects to the net. I am about to get an analyze wireless network report.

I want to fix it.

How did you try Gecko? VM?
Restarting PC did not work?

I tried Gecko live and did not install. For dual boot. Then I installed dual boot Mint 19, and it too cannot connect, with some 'memory' from the Gecko attempt to connect in Mint. The same reading I put in during live test.

Windows 10 boot up did not connect to the net automatically, or manually.

Funny thing, I opened network connections after getting error 651, and the troubleshooter detected the problem and fixed it. I booted into Mint, and it goes as well with no tweaking...!
