In Windows 10, Microsoft has begun to drop its built-in support for Microsoft Hosted Network WiFi connections which is the mechanism the APM Kiosk Transfer App uses to create a secure, ad-hoc network between the mobile device and the kiosk.
The following 3rd-party manufacture devices and specific driver versions have been tested to ensure compatibility with the solution.
Built-In WiFi Adapters
These adapters are the WiFi cards built into your computer.

|---|---|---|
| Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165 | 18.12.0.3 | GET |
External USB Adapters
If your system does not have a supported built-in WiFi adapter, an external, USB adapter can be purchased for each kiosk.
It is important to use the specific driver version linked to from this page. If an installation wizard asks you to update, hit No / Cancel, or it may install an incompatible version of the driver.

Preventing Automatic Driver Updates
Windows 10 has a habit of automatically force-installing newer drivers for devices. If that problems occurs for you, Microsoft has instructions and a software tool that can be used to inhibit updates for a particular driver:
