They give you stickers! Ok guys, you are kind of my last resort for now. TL;DR: Windows thinks my in fact newer drivers are older and refuses to let me install it, deinstalling windows drivers makes the device disappear from device manager and thus eliminates the possibility to install my newer drivers, because i have no.exe for them. I have trouble with my Wifi since anniversary update. Found a guy through google who has exactly the same problems (random disconnects, only rebooting allows to reconnect to wifi) on exactly the same wifi adapter, an Atheros Qualcomm AR9485. Solution suggested by ASUS und apparently the one working for him was updating the driver, as Win10 uses 3.0.2.201 but the atheros website lists a 10.0.0.329 as latest driver and that was also the exact one ASUS suggested. I downloaded the driver and low and behold, Windows 10 tells me i have the latest driver already.
I looked and found that the older driver windows is using has a never signing date (feb 2016), therefore windows thinks its the latest one (the official atheros 10.0.0.329 is from july 2015). So it won't update. Since the driver is no.exe file but only.cat,.inf and.sys, i cannot install it directly. Deinstalling the older drivers through device manager results in the device disappearing completely from device manager and 'find new hardware' results in the device coming back with the windows drivers it originally had. So I don't know a way to install the new drivers while the old drivers are uninstalled. So I don't know how to force windows to accept the 'older' driver. System is Windows 10 x64 with system version 1607 (anniversary update) and Wifi-Adapter is Atheros Qualcomm AR9485.

P.S.: I looked in the system32/drivers folder and the atheros driver is called athw8x.sys while the one i downloaded from atheros website is athw10x.sys, so apparently windows thinks the Win 8 driver is the latest whereas in reality there is already a win10 driver out. Replacing and renaming doesn't work sadly:(.
