| 1443408 | 2017-12-14 21:49:00 | Just noticed the other day, if I turn this computer off the LED on this wifi adapter stays on. (If it's plugged into the front USB 3 port). Strange thing is, this only started happening 2-3 days ago. Before then, it was always off? If I plug it into a back USB 3 port, the LED doesnt stay on And I'm pretty sure the other 2 computers (they've got the same adapter). The LED has never stayed on, when they're off Thought it may have been a windows update that did something but as above one of the other 2 computers (It's got Win10 on it too) like this one, the LED doesn't stay on |
