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.

    I cant believe this issue still exists. I am facing this issue on my Asus Laptop. Every time I have to restart my laptop because my wifi option goes missing. I tried everything on Internet and nothing helped me so far. I also faced similar wifi disappearing issue on my another pc. My system is up to date.

    All Strix users with this issue, a workaround is to use non-official drivers foundhere

    Performance is exactly the same, but no more having to restart or disable the wifi.

    Its evident that its definitely a software issue.

    I have the same issue. My computer will go to sleep and then all wifi networks disappear. The only fix is to restart the laptop, which is annoying.

    I did exactly the same procedure two days ago, thus, the driver version indicate that this is the latest version of driver. Nevertheless, the issue still persists
