Windows 10 WIFI problem limited Surface Pro 3

I have had Windows 10 for a few weeks and it was going OK until I suddenly experienced WiFi Issues.
It was all going OK until a week ago when the Wifi reception began to be bad and then became Limited and I just couldnt find out how to fix it.

I googled WiFi Windows 10 to discover that it wasnt just me, there are loads of us out there. I have a Microsoft Surface Pro 3 which I had upgraded to Windows 10. Many people seemed to have problems but most of the proposed solutions didnt work. I tried removing the network profiles and edited the registry to really finish the job but it still didnt work.

I finally worked out something which seems to work so I thought id post here in case others have the same problem.

The problem seems to be the Network driver. I tried uninstall, reboot and it reinstalls. The problem being it installed the driver which caused the problem. So here is how I installed a previous version of the driver.

I have screenshots on this pretty powerpoint slide deck.



Enjoy
