My Windows 11 laptop will no longer connect to Wi-Fi. It says "You're connected using a virtual network adapter that we can't test." I have restarted my laptop and rebooted the modem, neither worked. Any help on what to do next?

    Go to Device Manager

    Go to NETWORK adapters

    RIGHT CLICK on Medi Tek WIFI 6 MT7921 wireless LAN Card and CLICK ON ENABLE.

    that's how I got my Internet back.

    Hope it helps.

    Hi. I had this issue too. What I did to fix it was using the device manager. The link above goes to the article that I used.

    Basically, you open the Device Manager app and then find the item that refers to your network adapter. Right click on it, and then click Update driver. While you're in the Device Manager app, you might as well also update anything else that has a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark symbol inside of it warning symbol. For me, I also had to update bluetooth drivers.

    I had this happen as well, completely out of the blue, running Windows 11 Home 10.0.22631 on a Gateway GWTN141-10. I tried Grace Archer's suggestion a couple of times, as well as several to no avail. What worked for me was just going into Device Manager, then expanding Network Adapters, then right clicking and disabling the network adapter (in my case, it was the Intel Wireless-AC 9461). I waited two minutes, right clicked on it again, and clicked Enable Device. That seems to have fixed it, at least for now.

    Would love to provide a screenshot but it keeps failing to upload. Here is an Imgur link. https://imgur.com/a/Nlnrs2c

    I can't believe as simple as a hard reboot did fix it ... thank you... indeed everything else failed.
