Hello,

I just converted a Packard Bell onetwo L5850 all-in-one PC from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Since then, the Wi-Fi is not working anymore.

The Wi-Fi card is a Realtek RTL8192CU according to the device manager. This manager indicates "This device cannot start (code 10)."

Windows Update found no driver for it, and I couldn't find one anywhere on the Internet for Windows 10. Do you have a solution, or am I stuck replacing the Wi-Fi card in the PC? :/

Thank you very much in advance.

Configuration: Linux / Firefox 68.0

      HURRAY! :D
      I received a message saying the driver was not recommended, but it installed successfully, and the wifi worked immediately without restarting! :D

      A big thank you to you!!!
