Bootcamp Windows 10 no WiFi, Retina Mid 2012

Guys,

faced with an issue yesterday after installing Windows 10 Enterprise x64 on my MBP Retina (Mid 2012). There is no WiFi icon in Wireless Devices, only Bluetooth. All the drivers are installed (BootCamp 5.1.5621), there is a Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter in Device Manager, but icon still not get displayed.

(There is also no WiFi tab in Network and Internet).

Probably someone has faced with that before and could suggest a solution.

MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), Other OS, Windows 10, Bootcamp, WiFi

Yeah, I rolled back yesterday successfully. Fortunately there is a 'Go back to Windows 8' option. Moreover after roll back Windows and Office stayed activated.

Are there any unknown devices in Device Manager?

You can download Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5621 to a USB2 flash drive and Boot Camp: Install or repair Boot Camp drivers .

There are no any unknown devices. as I said there is a Broadcom device with the driver installed, but WiFi doesn't appear in settings.

This is from W7 BC installation. Do you see the Broadcom 802.11n (or 802.11ac) network adapter?

Can you update the driver? You should also try disabling and re-enabling the adapter and test if you see a Wireless icon in System Tray. The driver may be disabled due to incompatibility.

Try disabling/re-enabling the adapter first. If that does not work, then let Windows Update find a compatible driver. The other option is to install only the Broadcom driver manually and test.
