I have tried the latest driver updates and uninstalling and reinstalling. I have also tried a clean install. I have tried taking the Network adapter out and putting it back in. now I am stumped. I am getting error code 10. and when I try latest drivers it says that the latest drivers are already installed.

    In case anyone is still having issues, I just got off support with Asus and their recommendation worked:

    Update the intel chipset.

    The files I got were:

    V1828.12.0.1152_consumer_20181130_WHQL

    Intel_Chipset_Installation_Utility_WIN10-64_V10.1.17695.8086

    Granted, I tried everything under the sun before this, so it might not be as simple as updating the chipset. My problem was that the card would cause Windows to hang during start up. I fixed the master boot record, reinstalled windows about 8 times, tried several pcie slots, tried different versions of the driver, tried locking the pci thing through msconfig, virtually everything. All of this despite that the ac68 is on my motherboard's QVL!

    In the end, here's what worked. I have a fresh installation of Windows 10. I downloaded the asus drivers from the website. I downloaded the two zip files above. I ran AsusSetup from the intel chipset zip and SetupME from the WHQL zip. My card works now.

    Specs:

    i7-8700k cpu

    ASUS Z390-a PRIME motherboard

    Same problem here.

    I made some investigation on two different computers with the same Asus Wifi card PCE-AC68.

    System 1:

    Mainboard:  Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3-AM3+

    Processor:  AMD Phenom II X6 1075T

    System 2

    Mainboard:  MSI H97M-E35

    Processor:  Intel CPU Core i3-4160 (1150)

    Fresh insalled W10 pro 1703, Asus driver installed, both computers have a functioning Wifi card.

    Fresh insalled W10 pro 1709, Asus driver installed,

    The intel system is okay, on the Amd system the card driver is not starting, code 10.

    I have fell into a problem with Windows 10, 1703 ok but when you update the ASUS 6830 that has a wireless card installed will corrupt the Install.

    you must uninstall the card and any internet connection until your done (V1809).

    Once all is installed then you can plug in the PCIE card that came with the PC, crazy but I had to prove it to myself.

    The old card (2011) is not compatible but yet when you run the Windows Installation Wizard it passes all the test.

    you will also notice a plays koas with Windows Defender as well.

    The only problem I have now after buying a New ASUS AC88 wireless card is that it is dependent on Windows to open up instead of the BIOS.
