Linksys WUSB6300 AC1200 Won’t Connect After Windows Update

Issue – Microsoft driver updates. After Windows Update your computer can’t connect to WiFI. No matter what you try –  your existing connection that was working before the reboot for Windows update, or a new network like a mobile phone hot spot. You can try to forget the network and re-add it, try resetting the adapter, rebooting, Windows troubleshooting, resetting your router… all of them end in a WiFi connection error because Windows Update replaces the functioning Linksys driver with a RealTek driver that will not work.

Solution – Get that Microsoft @$%& outta here! and revert back to the proper functioning driver.
