Hi to you all, After reading all the posts, the one post which solved the issue was from zl521. As he said, the option for " Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" is only available under the Bluetooth adapter. After I set it over there, the issue disappeared and I can confirm that the wifi stays on since. Thank you very Much!!!

So, with 7 pages I think I went through all of them looking for the same answer but I could have missed something. I had the same issue with Windows 10 and I had previously found a solution. Sadly though I did not save it and after upgrading to Windows 11 I have spent the better part of a year trying to find the solution again. Alas, I found it! I applied it last night and just minutes ago upon opening my laptop I am thrilled to say I did not have to restart my laptop. Here are the steps and a link to the Windows 10 support article I found. ****CAUTION: Altering registry settings can irreparably damage your system an result in a need to restore from a clean install*** Despite the caution, as long as you don't alter anything other than what is described below you will be fine.

(Note: By default it will have the value set to 1) Then restart your pc and let your PC go into sleep mode overnight to see if your problem is resolved.

I as well have an Asus ROG Strix that started doing this about a week ago. This seems to be a common point here. Anyone try contacting ASUS to see if they have a solution to this problem?

Once again MS causes issues and won't fix them.

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

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

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.
