Windows 8.1 BSOD: netwlv64.sys

Anonymous

My Windows 8.1 Pro running on HP 8510w mobile workstation keeps crashing with a Blue Screen of Death STOP error on random accasions.

Bugcheck code 0x000000d1, DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQAL in netwlv64.sys

The driver is related to the built-in Intel WiFi Link 4965AGN WLAN module.

This is a fresh installation of Windows 8.1 Pro. Using default Microsoft driver for the wireless module:

Driver Provider: Microsoft

Driver Date: 15.08.2010

Driver Version: 13.3.0.137

There is no driver for Windows 8.1 provided by Intel for this module. The one from Microsoft obviously does not work properly and crashes Windows 8.1.

There is another issue with this driver not re-connecting after standby but this I was able to resolve by disabling 802.11n Mode in advanced device properties (device manager). But this is another topic.

There seems to be something seriously wrong with the driver Microsoft provides and Internet research provides many results about people having the same issue. Does anybody have an idea how to fix the issues?

    U can try another way to disable Intergrity checks through gpedit.msc . I know the commands still works in Windows 10 latest build , so it must have been some settings which are messed up in yr comp. 

    The Group Policy Object that you refer to only disables the Program Application Compatibility prompt while installing the driver. It does not prevent the drivers from being loaded once they are installed.

    It is possible that the Insider builds allow for driver signature enforcement to be permanently disabled while the regular builds don't (or stopped allowing after some updated). I use Windows 10 version 1511 build 10586.

    so did u try the drivers i provided? does it help? please report thank u 

    are u sure the BCDedit dont seems to work?  did u input the commands correctly ? open a CMD  ( right click , runs as administrative and type 

    Bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ONafter this step reboot and u will be able to install unsigned drivers 
    

    I did not try the drivers for too long as I would have to keep disabling digital driver signature enforcement on every boot. Even if I install the driver with the signature enforcement set to disabled Windows will not allow the driver to be loaded after reboot.

    bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON does not help

    bcdedit /set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS does not help

    bcdedit /set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS does not help

    Bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks ON does not help

    Those bcdedit commands might have worked in the past but they don't seem to work now (at least for me).

    I'm currently using the 11.5.0.32 driver version. It seems to have some quirks for me (for example sometimes there is no reconnection to wireless network after resuming from sleep) but no BSODs.

    Thank you.

    Additional problem is that these Windows 7 drivers are treated as unsigned by Windows 10 (no *.cat file from them - they are trusted as long as they are not "exported" out of Windows 10). That means you have to disable digital driver enforcement. And there is currently no parament way of doing so in Windows 10 (the usual "bcedit" and gpedit.msc methods no longer seem to work).

    the problem is with the in box 13.3 drivers packaged with 8.1 and 10 

    those drivers labelled 13.3  has the same symptoms with win 7 as well . avoid using the 13.3 versions

    i have retried the win 7 inbox driver (12.xx.xx)  by Microsoft should resolved the issue 

    download here and install the INF
