Windows 11: WiFi gone after sleep

Anonymous

My laptop is installed with Windows 11 Home Single Language and uses the network adapter of Realtek 8822CE Wireless LAN 802.11ac PCI-E NIC.

Every time when I put my laptop in sleep mode, the WiFi disconnected automatically, and the network adapter driver also disappeared from the list of device manager. After I restart my laptop, everything goes back to normal, but I would like to resolve this issue permanently.

I have updated the driver, but the issue still persists. Below are the images that illustrate the issue.

  1. WIFI has gone after sleep mode.

  1. When this issue happens, the WIFI icon also disappeared

  1. I run troubleshooting, it states that there is no proper network adapter driver installed

  1. The WIFI's network adapters driver disappear from the list of device manager when this issue happens.

  1. After I restart my computer, the WIFI connection back to normal, with the WIFI icon appearing and the driver appearing in the device manager.

HOWEVER, this issue comes back every time after, I put my laptop into sleep mode.

    Fingers crossed! And it would be great if you could let me know it it works as well, so we can spread the news. For me it has been 3 days without any disconnects! I really don't now why MS, the card manufacturer or the laptop maker cannot figure this issue out. I have a lenovo ideapad pro 5, and actually, this issue started after an update they provide, but interestingly, rolling back that update didn't fix it at all. Anyways, in my search into this problem, I have also read that people said doing the following worked for them. So, if my way doesn't work out, you can try it out (thought, it didn't do the trick for me and I don't know necessarily understand what these commands actually do).

    Open "Command Prompt" and select "Run as administrator";

    In the Command Prompt, type the following commands, one at a time and press Enter after each (so do not type them all at once) :

    netsh int ip reset

    netsh winsock reset

    ipconfig /release

    ipconfig /renew

    ipconfig /flushdns

    Then, Restart your PC.

    Best of luck!

    I have the same laptop and I've noticed the issue with not just wifi but LAN as well. If I walk away for lunch I have to reboot when I get back.

    Same problem here with an Acer laptop. Amazing that MS hasn't been able to solve this issue in their own OS yet after all this time! After all, this was working fine in W10, without any sort of "workaround" being required.

    Tried the drivers I linked a few replies up? It’s fixed mine permanently.
