Fix: NetworkUX.ViewModel.SettingEntry error on HP 14-ac146tu windows 10 - Home SL

When I connected the laptop to the WIFI connection, the error message shown was

NetworkUX.ViewModel.SettingEntry


First Solution:

I uninstalled the driver of the wireless network adapter Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter. Then restarted the laptop. Actually, this solution usually works most of the time.  


After I restarted it, I connected to the WIFI connection but faced with the same problem 
--->  NetworkUX.ViewModel.SettingEntry

Second Solution:

I looked at the Add or Remove Programs Settings and saw a Broadcom Network Adapter Driver installed. I thought that this driver has a compatibility issue with the Operating System, so uninstalled it followed by the first solution so that new drivers will be installed. 

After the restart, I connected to the WiFi and it was a successful one. I surfed the internet and was able to browse some pages. But there was one small issue that I had observed.  The WiFi icon meter stayed on one bar, although I am a few meters away from the broadband router.  



It was unusual to see the icon meter like this, so I googled it and read some online forums. I found out that there were Windows Users who faced with the same problem. According to them, this only happened after they made a Windows Update.  Some said it was a bug in Windows 10. 

To solved the problem I did the following. 

First, I tried to update the Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter using the automatic windows driver update but the message was "the best drivers are already installed". So my second option was to manually download the actual update in the HP website. (You just have to know the model and specifications of your laptop to be able to download the appropriate driver). After downloading, I installed it then restarted the computer, then, Voila! The icon meter was already fixed.


In cases like this, solutions may be found from online forums or blogs. It may come from the suggestion of an expert person or were shared by persons who actually experienced and were able to correct the issue. But not all solutions may work for you. You just have to try it out but be skeptical or put a little extra careful on what you are doing. 

I hope you find something interesting in this post. Thanks!
