This WireGuard Driver is still installed.

Download and install Unlocker

Copy and paste into everything search.
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\wireguard.sys
Click to expand...
Right click on the wireguard file and select unlocker.
Then under action click delete.
 
There was another driver installed, that could indeed be the issue or at least partly to blame:
Make sure and delete both of these.

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\ovpn-dco.sys
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\wireguard.sys



After deletion of both drivers re-run this batch file.
Code: 
@Echo on
pushd\windows\system32\drivers\etc
attrib -h -s -r hosts
echo 127.0.0.1 localhost>HOSTS
attrib +r +h +s hosts
popd
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset all
netsh int ip reset all
shutdown -r -t 1
del %0
 
Running in safe mode would still not let me delete the wireguard.sys file, and I still could not find an Unlocker option after right-clicking. Also, I could not connect to the internet in safe mode with networking. I had my wifi dongle plugged in, but none of my networks would show up.

I downloaded fileASSASSIN, but I can't find either of the two driver files, even after following the trail laid out in the everything search.
 
Right Click File Assassin and run as admin.

Copy and paste into the File assassin window each of these and delete, if they will not delete then use one at a time delete on reboot.

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\ovpn-dco.sys
Click to expand...
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\wireguard.sys
Click to expand...


After deletion, then use the batch file in green in my last post.
 
I'm getting an error after I hit execute saying "The file you have specified does not exist or is not visible to FileASSASSIN. Please select another file." This happens for both files, but I am still able to see them in the Everything search.
 
Ok. Lets do this:
Download ESO Unzip to desktop.
Right click run as admin ECMuen_64
Select these options.

Then start Everything search.
Copy and paste the file paths.
Right click and take ownership.
Then delete.
 
Are you able to connect? If not we may need to try a bootable linux to see if the adapter is just not functioning correctly
 
Ok, Time to check your hardware:

Rufus
Linux


You will need a USB that you are willing to format and a computer to download it on and complete this process. I can provide further instructions tomorrow. I am off for the night.
