USB Wireless Network Adapter Causing Blue Screen Error?
For a couple of days I have been experiencing blue screen errors ('Driver_Irql_Less_Or_Not_Equal' and 'Attempted_Write_To_Readonly_Memory WDF01000'). I've tried to have a look at the dump files to understand what exactly is causing the issue, but need more trained eyes to reach a conclusion:
Out of the 10 crashes over the two days, 7 of them have been USBXHCI related (either 'USBXHCI!Control_Transfer_CompleteCancelable+3d' or 'USBXHCI!Bulk_Transfer_CompleteCancelable+68').
One was a 'ntkrnlmp.exe' ('nt!KiPageFault+469').
Two were FLTMGR realted ('FLTMGR!FltpPerformPreCallbacksWorker+2cd' and 'FLTMGR!FltpLinkCompletionNodeToInstance+27')
Last week I bought (a rather cheap) USB wireless network adapter since a network card couldn't fit inside my PC when I built it, and an ethernet connection is not possible considering where it is located in the house. It worked perfectly, up until these past few days that whenever it's plugged in it seems to be causing the crashes even if I uninstall and reinstall the drivers. It uses a 'realtek 8812bu wireless lan 802.11ac usb nic' connection, but the drivers to update them stop at 2017-2018.
I've done a reinstall of windows - with kept files, not keeping files, even a complete fresh install using the USB ISO tool - and the issue still persists.
Is it a case of just getting a new (more expensive) USB wireless adapter? If so, what are some recommended ones that work fine with Windows 10? And if that is not the issue, then how else can I resolve my blue screen errors?
