Hi, there was no option given to uninstall the old driver. Sometimes when you uninstall a device it offers the option to uninstall the old drivers with it, but device manager does not provide this option. So there is no error, just not any way of uninstalling the driver.

Yes, i have tried this several times. The adapter uninstalls but the driver remains. No option shows up to uninstall the driver along with the adapter. When i try to intall the new driver after uninstalling the adapter, I get the message that i need to uninstall the old driver first. It seems also that windows 10 has installed its own driver from Microsoft over the original driver.
