Having Trouble With These Realtek Drivers?
If you see an issue right after the Realtek driver install, uninstall and then reinstall them. You can do this from the appropriate applet in Control Panel. If reinstalling the driver isn’t possible or doesn’t work, a roll-back is your next best troubleshooting step.
