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 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 have the exact same thing here, the only possible way i can tempolary fix it is restart the laptop.
    I try 'reset the pc' but the problem still persist.

    I have a Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro (AMD) with a factory installed Wi-Fi card MediaTek MT7921 and after months of trying different drivers I gave up and bought an Intel AX210 card but the problem is still here. Microsoft please fix your poor implementation of the power saving state.

    Sometimes I can just go to device manager and disable/enable the card and this will work but most of the time I have to do a full restart just so the drivers can kick in. This is just mad.
