Hi Ken_D,
I see your note above about the registry, to clarify you tried searching the entire registry for "wgx.sys" and found nothing other than the mentioned key? If you search and do find any I would ensure they point to the correct path.
I checked my registry here and I see it located at the following:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Components\4953094E6841EF9469FB38656B309FA1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\SERVICES\WGX
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet003\Services\WGX
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WGX
The entry in CurrentVersion points to the file in the SEP folder and the Services ones point to the following:
ImagePath = System32\Drivers\wgx.sys
Alternatively, this driver is for SNAC. If you are not using it or have no plans to you can simply remove it:
-Open Device Manager
-Click View > Show hidden devices
-Expand Non-Plug and Play Drivers and uninstall the "Extend WG Protocol Driver"
-Open a command prompt, and type the following command and hit Enter:
sc delete “wgx”
-Reboot the system.
