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.

    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.

    Link: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/wi-fi-disconnects-after-waking-from-sleep-manually/0002563d-5271-416d-8697-1a3401c71706

    Steps:

    1. Press Windows + R and type regedit, then press Enter.
    2. In the registry go to the following address:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\238c9fa8-0aad-41ed-83f4-97be242c8f20\7bc4a2f9-d8fc-4469-b07b-33eb785aaca0

    1. Within that registry key, double click on "Attributes" and change the value to 2. (Note: By default it will have the value set to 1)
    2. Then restart your pc and let your PC go into sleep mode overnight to see if your problem is resolved.

    You might try looking for new drivers as they could make a difference.

    That may well work, but that article refers to Windows 7.
