Hello Windows Insiders,
After the release of build 14915 to to the Fast ring for PC yesterday, a Wi-Fi bug has been discovered that is impacting a subset of users. Please review the following:
- Surface Pro 1
- Surface Pro 2
- Wi-Fi adapters using early Marvell drivers
- Various USB-based WiFi adapters
- (There may be other similar drivers affected, research is ongoing)
You may review in Device Manager to see if your PC is affected. You will see an icon on your Wi-Fi adapter similar to this:
The percentage of users impacted is limited, but for those affected, all Wi-Fi functionality is lost and there is no temporary fix to restore Wi-Fi on this build given the nature of the bug. Affected users will need to use a wired connection if available or roll back to the previous OS version on their device to bypass this issue.
Our Engineering teams have quickly completed a root cause analysis of the issue and are working to get the fix checked-in to make it available in our next flight.
Thank you as always for the feedback that has been provided and for the quick efforts to share this issue with us.
