Citrix Deterministic Network Enhancer (DNE) is not a virus or a rootkit (although some anti-rootkit products may mistakenly flag it). Citrix supplies software to a number of software and hardware companies. When they install their products on your systems, they will often contain DNE. Here's a fix for Wi-Fi driver issue wherein Windows 10 can no longer detect or connect to available Wi-Fi networks in range. (the Deterministic Network Enhancer) which is not properly upgraded.
Full walk-through for New Installation.
9 Steps total
Step 1: Download Citrix DNE
You will need to download the Stand-alone Installer for the DNE that is included with the Cisco VPN Installer - for unknown reasons, the Cisco Installer will fail to install it. You can get this from:
ftp://files.citrix.com/dneupdate64.msi
Step 2: Install Citrix DNE
Standard Install, Run MSI, Agree to EUA and click Next until Finish.
Step 3: Download Cisco VPN 64-bit Installer
Presuming if you are reading this, you either have the Installer already or have a contract with Cisco so you can get it form their support system. The latest (and to my knowledge, last version) is 5.0.07.0290. Once you have downloaded, run.
Step 4: Install Cisco VPN Client
When the Unzip Wizard opens, change the path to someone easy to access and click Unzip. If you have UAC enabled, you will get a prompt to run the Installer, click No - if you don't gave UAC installed, you will get an error - ignore the error and move to next step.
Step 5: Run the Installer
Open the folder you extracted the files to and run vpnclient_setup.msi (not one with the UAC Shield, Windows 10 will block it.)
Deterministic Network Enhancer Windows 7
Step 6: Follow SOP for Installer
Click Next, Next, Next, Finish.
Step 7: Modify the Registry
This is something we have been doing since Windows 8. When the installer runs, it creates a registry key with a value that is prefixed with erroneous data.
Save the following to VPNFix.reg and run it:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesCVirtA]
'DisplayName'='Cisco Systems VPN Adapter for 64-bit Windows'
Step 8: Finish Configuring
Now, you can open the Cisco VPN Client and continue configuring as per previous versions of Windows (create a new Host and provide required credentials.)
Step 9: 'Major' updates
Once in a while, Microsoft will deploy a build big enough (seems to coincide with Patch Tuesday..) When this happens, Windows will re-examine the system for software they deem not compatible and will render the VPN Client inert. The fix is to use Add or Remove Programs and Repair the Cisco VPN Client. Takes about 5 seconds and it will start working again.
You will then have to re-run Step 7 to fix the registry key again.
*One option to avoid this might be to remove the permissions from the Registry key, but I haven't tried that yet.
Make a ZIP file with all the files you need and label them Step1,2,3 and modify your instructions to your End-Users to run 1,2,3 and it should cut down your support calls for new Installs. Hope it helps.

Cisco service and program shortcuts removed today with the 10586 build update

I'm on the insider build with fast track downloads. Happens to me about every 3 weeks. Use Appwiz.cpl to Repair and you are good to go again..
- Poblanotrey perrone Nov 13, 2015 at 08:30pm
that does work and then with regfix.
Though, something with the last couple builds with a fresh windows install (no other software) wont allow install of DNE or cisco. windows error 'network component installation requires a reboot first, to free locked resources. run install again again after restarting the computer' citrix forums fixes not much help
only fix i saw for 'fresh win10 install with latest updates' was to use the dell sonicwall client had back on blog several months ago.

Forgot about Regfix, I will update instructions with that.

The problem facing is due to the machines that were upgraded from Windows 7 or 8.1 to Windows 10 having old VPN software that not compatible with Windows 10, specifically Cisco VPN client or SonicWall Global VPN client.
As Microsoft stated, 'This issue may occur if older VPN software is installed on Windows 8.1 and is present during the upgrade to Windows 10. Older software versions contain a Filter Driver (the Deterministic Network Enhancer) which is not properly upgraded, leading to the issue.'
However, Microsoft has provided a workaround involves deleting a registry key and running the network configuration utility, netcfg. Ccleaner for tablets free. Here's how Windows users can fix and get Wi-Fi appear back in Windows 10:
- Right click the Start button and select Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu to launch Command Prompt as Administrator.
- Enter the following command and press the Enter key
reg delete HKCRCLSID{988248f3-a1ad-49bf-9170-676cbbc36ba3} /va /f - Next, enter the another command netcfg -v -u dni_dne and press Enter key again.
- Once done, reboot or restart the PC. The Wi-Fi network will appear again and allow to connect with Wi-Fi settings.
