The Alfa AWUS036H USB adapter/dongle is a good USB adapter that has been around for many years.
Recently when I tried to use The USB adapter with Windows 10 it wouldn’t work.
After playing around a bit I installed the drivers manually.

I just did a fresh install of windows 10, and had an awful time getting my usb adaptor (ALFA AWUS036NHA with the Atheros AR9271 Chipset) to work on it.
This is how it was finally done (uninstall alfa drivers with rebooting before trying):
-
New movie song mp3 download. Open your 'AWUS036NHA' folder (available as a RAR file at: 'www.alfa.com.tw/download.php', and that file can be uncompressed with 7zip which is available at: 'www.7-zip.org').
-
Right Click: 'SETUP' application file.
-
scroll down, and Left Click on: 'PROPERTIES' button.
-
Left Click on the 'COMPATIBILITY' tab.
-
Hp printers download drivers. Left Click to place a checkmark on 'RUN THIS PROGRAM IN COMPATIBILITY MODE FOR' select 'Windows 7' in the drop down menu.
-
Left Click to place a checkmark on 'RUN THIS PROGRAM AS AN ADMINISTRATOR'.
optional: Left Click on 'Change settings for all users' repeat steps 5, and 6 within it's menu.
7. Left Click the 'Apply' button.

8. Return to the 'AWUS036NHA' folder.
9. Left Click on 'Setup', and the installer will run 'as an administrator' with 'Windows 7 Compatibility Mode' .
Let the installer do it's thing then let it reboot, and after booting back into windows 10 you should be able to see your wifi icon.
I really hope this helps someone, because this driver has been a huge time wasting pita for me.
