Hi,
I installed the new windows 11 24H2 update about a week and for whatever reason my wifi drivers have stopped working (specifically the Killer (R) Wi-Fi 6E AX1675i). The wifi option itself no longer appears.
I have tried a number of the solutions listed on this forum involving troubleshooting, a network reset, entering the netsh/ipconfig commands on CMD for TCP/IP reset, uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, restarted the router (not the modem, but I don't think this should be an issue as other devices seem to connect just fine) and nothing seems to be working. I didn't realize that I hadn't approved system restore, so I don't have a restoration point I can restore to. Uninstalling the update doesn't seem to be doing anything either (I am fairly sure that I uninstalled the correct update, but I could be wrong).
I have an Acer Swift Go 14 device (i7-1355u). I am not super technically adept, so I am not sure the following will cause any issues with connecting or not, but I have the Cisco AnyConnect Adapter driver, a VPN driver (Tunnel Bear), the Bluetooth Personal Area Network driver, a Realtek USB driver, and a bunch of WAN Miniport drivers as part of my network drivers.
Currently, I can only connect to the internet via an Ethernet connection.
Any help would be appreciated.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Why on earth is Microsoft not fixing this? Why are users expected to dig into the registry — something most people shouldn't even have to touch — just to restore basic laptop functionality like wifi? This is 2025, and we’re still dealing with this kind of nonsense? How did Windows become so unreliable that simple features break after updates, and no one takes responsibility.
If your WIFI Keeps disappearing after the restart.
Try this proven fix - Registry > Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Wcmsvc
and look DependOnService in there, Open it and remove the last line. For some reason Microsoft (re t _ _ d s) decided to add Http auth proxy as a dependency in 24h2.
Final Reg value should be like this
RpcSs
NSI
Reboot > Profit.
I have what might be a solution for HP users and there's a chance it might steer people in the right direction if you don't use HP. I've been struggling with this issue for around 4 hours now, but I just about got to the bottom of it I think so I'm going to share in case this helps others.
Downloading the HP Support Assistant allowed me to update some drivers. Navigating to "See all fixes and diagnostics" -> "Software & Drivers" should show the drivers available to update.
From what I had available there was a firmware driver "HP BIOS and System Firmware (R70)" that needed updating. Following the instructions that HP Support Assistant prompted me with, the driver was then downloaded and installed for me which subsequently applied some changes to the BIOS. Once the BIOS updates had completed, the laptop loaded and the Wi-Fi was re-established pretty much immediately.
Really hope this helps some people move forward with this issue as I would've been pretty unhappy with not having an option to use Wi-Fi on my laptop until Windows figured out how to update my driver themselves.
Please refer the permanent solution on this.
open Regedit as admin
Go here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinHttpAutoProxySvc
Change the 'Start value' to 3
Open Services.msc
Find service :- WLAN AutoConfig & restart service
sc config WcmSvc depend= RpcSs/NSI
would this be relevant if you werent running a proxy?
