Packet scheduler miniport# Error code 31. Problem solved

Packet scheduler miniport. Error code 31. Can't load driver.

Yellow exclamation mark next to Packet scheduler miniport in device manager.

Problem solved!!!

I am writing this post because for ages I had a problem in my device manager where "packet scheduler miniport#6!" was listed with a big yellow exclamation mark. I have scoured the net for answers only to find dozens of people with the same problem and not a single answer that gives a fix.
Well, today I fixed the problem. So I thought I would share what I did in the hopes that it may help somebody else out there as this particular problem has driven me mad for a few weeks now!

Anyway, What I did was:

1, Open Device Manager and right click on the Packet Scheduler Miniport with the yellow exclamation mark next to it.

2, Click on Properties.

3, Click on the Driver tab.

4, Click on Update Driver.

5, Choose "Yes this time only", and click on next.

6, Choose "Install from a list or specific location" Advanced, and click on next.

7, Choose "Don't search, I will choose the driver to install". Click next.

8, In the box under "Network adapter" click on "Packet scheduler miniport" and then click on next.

The driver will then install and the problem will fixed. Take a look in Device manager and you will see the exclamation mark has disappeared.

I had to register here to thank the original poster for putting this information up. It certainly has fixed the issues I had with an HP ProBook 6540b. The device manager suddenly decided to show a bunch of extra Miniports under my network adapters which caused failure in connecting to networks with an error code of 31. Hopefully future Google searchers hit this search result first!

holy cow, I just found this!!! And I needed it for a good ol' Asus L5g Gaming laptop. It was buggin' the heck out of me.

What a SWEET find :D
