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.

    Wifi options do not exist in any of the power plans.

    Exactly the same issue here! Unable to show any WIFI networks and have to restart every time. Super annoying!

    I think that modifying the registry directly for network adapter worked for me. I tried to follow

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/networking/power-management-on-network-adapter

    ...but instead found PowerSavingMode that I updated from 1 to 0. Obviously I cannot guarantee that the fix works for everyone :) and I take no liability of the consequences :D

    I have the adapter mentioned in original post and I am running Windows 11 home version 22621.1992.

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