Recently installed Windows 11. The wifi remains connected for sometime and then after some time drops. Nothing I do can reconnect again. Only a complete restart fixes the wifi and then after sometime the connection gets dropped again. What can I do to fix this?

    I just purchased and set up a new HP TP01 2255t desktop with windows 11. Right out of the box problems with wifi continually and randomly dropping off. Tried every solution I could find, sometimes 2 or 3 times. It's not my ISP or router. Latest drivers from HP website and latest updates from microsoft. The only thing that would work to reconnect was a restart. I have 4 other computers in the house. 2 win 10, 1 direct to ethernet and 1 on wifi. 2 win 7, 1 direct to ethernet and 1 to wifi. In addition my phone. All work perfectly and never lose the connection. Only the new computer. There is a problem regardless of what microsoft tells you. I did find a solution.

    I spent $53 on a usb wifi adapter from linksys and disabled the network card that came with the new computer. Zero issues since the switch. Not the ideal fix and certainly one should not have to do this but I couldn't deal with the frustration anymore. Dear microsoft, Let me know when there is a fix. In the meantime you are welcome to send a check

    That was the only thing that worked on my desktop!

    That's interesting. I have read this as a solution before. That said, my Windows 10 laptop is sitting idle because no matter how hard I tried, I could not update it to the latest version. Multiple failures. Months trying until my version was no longer supported. Microsoft was of no help. So as a solution I bought a new laptop last Nov that came with Windows 11 installed before it was released. Apparently W11 has a bug or two.

    The only thing I have found that fixes the problem is reverting back to windows 10. Unfortunately I had to pay to do it... not very happy about that but the wifi issue is now fixed on the laptop. Microsoft should send a refund. I have another computer to do it to but dont want to spend the money.
