Wi Fi drivers aren t installing properly or not at all:

Good morning, afternoon, or evening, wherever you are, whenever you are, I’d appreciate any form of help regarding my seemingly odd problem with a Wi-Fi PCIe adapter.

2 days ago, I bought the Cudy New AX3000 Wireless Wi-Fi 6E PCIe Card for my gaming PC (says AX5400 on Amazon, but I couldn’t care; fine with the one in the picture anyway),devid
needing it mainly for the Bluetooth as my motherboard didn’t come with one (bummer).

The next day, it arrived, and I immediately started working on it. I turned off the PC, removed the PCIe slot cover, and inserted the Wi-Fi adapter into the motherboard (in one of the PCIe slots below the GPU). I connected the Bluetooth cable to the USB port and added the dual antennas that came with the card.

Firing up the Windows 10 PC, I installed the drivers according to the manual’s driver website (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth) while connected to the Ethernet cable, as it required a connection to download them.

Bluetooth worked flawlessly; I didn’t even need to restart it for it to work. However, things started to look worrying, as the Wi-Fi adapter wasn’t showing anywhere!
I’m talking Device Manager, Windows Troubleshooter, and even the recommended Intel Driver & Support Assistant couldn’t see the Wi-Fi card.

Here were my ways of troubleshooting so far:

1. Restarted after driver downloads:
2. Window’s Troubleshooter: 
3. Window’s updates w/ optional ones: 
4. Network reset: 
5. Checking for driver in device manager: 
6. Re-installed Wi-Fi drivers (same Wi-Fi driver to “repair”): 
7. CMD – ipconfig /flushdns: 
8. CMD – netsh winsock reset: 
9. CMD – netcfg -d: 
10. Device Manager – Add legacy hardware (for my model): 
11. Services – Manually started WWAN AutoConfig: 
12. Services – Restarting WLAN AutoConfig: 
13. Downloaded the driver manually from Device In Box and Snappy Driver Installer (just crashes for me): 

All of the steps mentioned went through many PC restarts. The only possible remaining option that I can think of is that the PCIe card slot is dead, and that I need to rip out yet another PCIe slot cover to gamble away my chances of success. However, it doesn’t make sense that the slot is dead since Bluetooth seems to be working fine (inform me if I’m wrong).
