mp drivers updated but can not connect wirelessly

[BigJack]

Laptop: Dell Inspirion 15

OS: Windows 10

Printer: MG3122

Unable to connect wirelessly.

I have tried the WPS button connect. Receive E-2-1 everytime.

I have tried the USB cable temporary. Always tells me that the mp drivers are in use.

I have the most up to date mp drivers for the printer. I have used the diagnostic with the printer and everything checks out. 

I have tried to uninstall but printer uninstall wizard will not pop up so can not start from scratch yet.

What can someone suggest?
