Wifi USB Realtek RTL8188FTV - delayed booting OS

[reboot12]

HW ID: USB\VID_0BDA&PID_F179
Installed Drivers: 0002-Realtek_WindowsDriver_1030.25.0701.2017.zip
Driver name: Realtek RTL8188FTV Wireless LAN 802.11n USB 2.0 Network Adapter

The card works well under WinXP 32-bit or 64-bit but there is a problem when starting the system. Booting (cold start) is interrupted for 50-60 seconds - black  screen.

With the system restart (warm boot) everything is OK

Black screen at what stage of booting? In BIOS, before the boot screen, or already in the OS, after the boot screen? If in BIOS, there is no way to solve it, some motherboards are not compatible with USB network cards. If in OS, try this driver, it is newer, the latest for this network card. https://mega.nz/file/mjAAnKib#LoRIhhRdIHxqUjoe07sW-57OsiBwmiKH5Xbsio0ANvg

The black screen is after WinXP boot screen. I have already tested many drivers:

• 1030.2.731.2015 - not work hidden SSID
• 1030.21.302.2017 - delayed boot
• 1030.31.102.2018 - delayed boot

@ED_Sln

Your drivers are not version 1113 - this is the version 1030.31.102.2018

Maybe it would help change any options in the regedit?

I couldn't find any instructions describing the registry settings, so you'll have to experiment and go through each setting in turn.

I tried this card + driver 1030.21.302.2017 x64 on WinXP 64-bit on Dell Wyse 3040 and error Code 10

Card work OK with driver 1030.6.1201.2015 (https://archive.org/download/rtl-8188-ftv-driver) but SSID cannot be hidden:

Conclusions:

• drivers from 2015 are the best, but they do not support hidden SSID
• all drivers newer than 2015 support hidden SSID but often do not work (some PC OK, some PC not OK) and there is a problem with delayed computer startup

Aaaaah, hidden SSID work on driver 1030.6.1201.2015 

but I need install driver using Windows\Setup.exe from RTL8188FTV Driver.iso - not manually from device manager !!!

This install:

• AEGIS Protocol (IEEE 802.1x) v3.7.5.0
• Realtek EAPPkt Protocol
• REALTEK USB Wireless LAN Utility

I need use REALTEK USB Wireless LAN Utility instead Windows Zero Config
