Capture the failure
Record Code 10 startup behavior, device status, and WPP driver traces.
MT7925 Wi-Fi Investigation
Technical case study
Trace the failure. Find the pattern.
An evidence-led investigation into a Wi-Fi Code 10 startup failure on one Lenovo Legion laptop. Driver traces, recovery tests, and a documented configuration workaround.
Made to be useful.
The adapter failed during startup while the original signed driver package remained installed. The investigation follows the failure through device state, trace evidence, and controlled recovery tests.
Test recovery paths
Compare removal and rescan recovery with adapter restart and full-reboot behavior.
Document the limits
A configuration workaround recovered this system. The report distinguishes observed results from a broader driver hypothesis.
