DEFINITIVE MEDION / TONGFANG / XMG CLEAN INSTALL DRIVER FIX (2024–2025).

How to recover Wi‑Fi, LAN, Touchpad, Medion, Tongfang ? XMG Control Centre Hotkeys & Control Centre after a clean Windows 11 install.

Author: Brian Hunter Tested on: Medion Erazer / Major X1 / X20 / X40 / Beast 16, 18 S‑Series (2023–2025) Problem: Clean Windows install = NO drivers, NO Wi‑Fi, NO LAN, NO touchpad, NO hotkeys, NO Control Center Cause: Medion’s driver installer only works on Medion‑branded OS images Fix: Manual.INF injection + Windows Update + OEM clean-up.

🟥 THE PROBLEM (WHY NOTHING WORKS)

If you wipe the SSD and install a clean Windows ISO, you’ll hit this:

• No Wi‑Fi
• No LAN
• No trackpad
• No hotkeys
• No fan control
• No keyboard lighting
• No Control Center
• Medion’s driver installer (drivers.cmd) prints a list and exits
• Windows Update can’t start because you have no network
• Device Manager is full of yellow triangles

This is because Medion/TongFang drivers require a Medion OS image to install automatically.

A clean Windows install breaks the OEM detection, so the installer refuses to run.

🟩 THE FIX (WORKS 100% OF THE TIME)

This method bypasses Medion’s broken installer and forces Windows to accept every driver.

✅ STEP 1 — Get ANY network working (LAN or WI‑Fi)

You only need ONE of these to come alive:

• Realtek LAN
• Intel/Realtek Wi‑Fi

Once you have internet, Windows Update can do the heavy lifting.

How to force it:

1. Open Device Manager
2. Right‑click Ethernet Controller → Update driver
3. Browse → point to the root of the Medion driver pack
4. Tick Include subfolders
5. Next

If it finds nothing, repeat with:

• LAN folder
• WLAN folder

Once one of them installs → you’re online.

✅ STEP 2 — Let Windows Update run fully

Now Windows Update will install:

• Intel chipset
• Intel MEI
• Intel/AMD GPU
• Realtek LAN
• Realtek Wi‑Fi
• USB controller
• Card reader

This fixes 70% of the machine.

Let it run until it says “You’re up to date”.

✅ STEP 3 — Install ALL remaining drivers manually (the secret step)

Medion’s CMD installer will NOT work after a clean installation.

So you must install the OEM drivers manually:

For every “Unknown device”:

1. Right‑click → Update driver
2. Browse my computer
3. Browse → select the root of the Medion driver pack
4. Tick Include subfolders
5. Next

Windows will auto‑match the correct INF.

This installs:

• Tong Fang HID
• Precision Touchpad
• Tong Fang ACPI
• Hotkeys
• Keyboard lighting
• System interface
• Fan control dependencies

This is the step Median never tells anyone.

✅ STEP 4 — Install the Tong Fang Control Centre.

Look for folders named:

• ControlCenter
• Hotkey
• TCC
• TongFangControl

Run the EXE inside.

This restores:

• Performance modes
• Fan control
• Battery charge limit
• Keyboard lighting
• Fn keys

Without this, the laptop runs like a potato.

🟦 STEP 5 — Reboot and verify

Open Device Manager → no yellow icons Open Control Center → fan modes + lighting working Trackpad → Precision Touchpad enabled Wi‑Fi + LAN → working GPU → correct driver installed

Your Medion is now fully restored.

🟧 WHY THIS GUIDE IS NECESSARY

Because:

• Medion’s installer checks for Medion OS branding
• Clean Windows installs break the OEM detection
• The CMD installer silently exits
• Windows Update can’t run without a network
• Forums are full of people stuck with no drivers
• Medion support gives copy‑paste answers
• No official documentation exists

This guide solves the entire chain in one go.
