Killer Wireless 1535 was developed by Rivet Technologies and later acquired by Intel. It is a WLAN or network card developed for game-oriented systems. The Killer Wireless card list has the feature of Bluetooth 4.1 and dual-band support for 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Killer Wireless is based on Qualcomm chips and adopts ExtremeRange technology, which can achieve wide connections, minimal packet loss and minimal delay when playing multiplayer games.
Why does Killer Wireless cause driver problems on my PC?
In the past few years, the Killer Wireless problem has been plagued Windows 10 users, and the problem has become worse in Windows 11. It is understood that the Killer Wireless driver does not support Windows 11 at startup. It is this reason that many Windows 11 users have driver problems.
According to Microsoft, the problem may be caused by a network error on Windows 11 that affected UDP. Outdated drivers and missing compatibility patches between Killer Wireless software and Windows 11 may cause major driver issues.
How to fix Killer Wireless 1535 driver issues?
Here is how to fix Killer Wireless 1535 driver issues on most systems. Let’s take a look together.
Method 1 Disable priority
Wi-Fi priority is a feature of the Killer Wireless Control Center. It uses Intel’s priority engine to identify ongoing network requests and prioritize them according to your current needs.
Due to the outdated drivers and limited support, most Killer network cards seem to have problems with this feature on Windows 11. Therefore, we recommend that you disable this feature and restart the system as soon as possible. If your computer is a gaming laptop from a few years ago, then this is most likely the cause of your wireless driver problem.
To start the Killer Wireless Control Center, just turn off the “priority engine” switch in the quick settings widget. You can also turn it off by clicking the priority engine at the top. After shutting down, restart your system, and Wi-Fi should be backed up again and running on your system.
Method 2 Update Windows

Just go to Settings> Windows Update>Check for Updates to update your Windows 11 to the latest available version.
