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. WIFI has gone after sleep mode . When this issue happens, the WIFI icon also disappeared 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. Moderator note < added words, added space and bold words for better clarity & visibility >

Just install the drivers I linked earlier guys. Solved my problem. Beats restarting my laptop or restarting the device in device management all the time.

It works partially. It is better but the system is not as stable as before. Sometimes it gets stuck after wake and hard reset is needed. Sometimes I still have to force wake by changing settings. It is a solution but not the final one:)

Oh odd. Completely solved it for me. Thought it would for others too. Very frustrating!

That works for your particular network card, there are other makes of cards still having issues.

I have been searching everywhere for a solution. I don't know how Microsoft makes billions every year when they leave users f'd for over a year. I just hope that this driver isn't some malware, it works my Wi-Fi stays on now so that's something I guess.
