Windows Wi-Fi drivers are harshly corrupted

[tiny river]

hey, so, ive been updating my drivers with an app called "driver booster". in the middle of updating my wifi drivers, it cut off my wifi, which is pretty normal cause drivers were getting updated. but my internet never came back.

ive tried LOTS OF ways including resetting network settings (via CMD / manually), troubleshooting, etc. and have watched lots of solutions, but didn't work.

only known solution in front of me is completely resetting my windows, but that'll delete all the apps and there are lots of important apps which would take a really long time to reinstall. can ya guys help?

Driver Managers/"Boosters"

Any bit of software claiming to manage and speed up your drivers is a waste of your time. They source their drivers from unknown locations and make other shady changes to your system. At best they're snake oil, at worst they're malicious. They're generally considered a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) and should be uninstalled ASAP.

If you want to make sure your drivers are up to date, then let Windows Update or Device Manager deal with it. Alternatively, get the drivers yourself from the manufacturers' websites.
