How to fix your network adapter after installing update KB4515384 on Windows 10

It's becoming clear that Microsoft is having a quality control problem when it comes to updating Windows 10. On September 10, the software giant began the rollout of update KB4515384 for devices running the May 2019 Update (version 1903), and shortly after the release a number of users started reporting problems with the Start menu and search, followed by audio issues with certain games, and now, it appears that the update has a bug affecting network connectivity. According to several reports on Reddit and Microsoft forums (via Neowin), after installing update KB4515384 on Windows 10, some wireless network adapters will stop working, and reinstalling the latest device driver doesn't fix the problem. Microsoft seems to have already acknowledged the issue and explains that the compatibility bug is happening with Intel Centrino 6205/6235 and Broadcom 802.11ac Wi-Fi adapters on specific models of NEC devices.

Moving Up in the NOC: Technician to Engineer

The good news is that in many NOCs, rapid advancement may be possible. The first step is to simply observe your organization’s employment structure and what it takes to get promoted. You may find that your NOC follows a seniority-based promotion path. If that’s the case, there may be no other choice but to wait it out. However, most companies offer options for career-minded techs to jump the line. Your goal is to stand out as someone who doesn’t just show up to work. The NOC’s senior technical positions have a deeper involvement in the inner workings of network operations and the company’s IT infrastructure as a whole. The surest way to get consideration for these positions is to take a deeper stand within your own role. If you’re a newcomer, it probably won’t take long before you recognize some weak spots in the NOC’s monitoring and resolution processes. These present opportunities to move up and increase your value. However, avoid the temptation to assume you must work for a b

Networks require to Adapt to Meet New Technology Challenges

oday’s business is dynamic, and networks need to be able to adapt to new demands. Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN) creates a logical network out of several physical networks, determining routes based on current conditions. SD-WAN provides networks with the flexibility to use more than one transport technology, picking the cheapest or “best”, through awareness of application metrics including packet loss and latency. With those priorities, SD-WAN chooses a route, potentially including public internet connections. It also enables faster provisioning through automating processes that are traditionally slow and manual. The combination of these factors gives networks the ability to adapt to business requirements much the way the cloud allows processing and storage to adapt.
