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.

    Try this too:

    1. Press "Windows + R", type powercfg.cpl and press Enter;
    2. Click "Change plan setting" on the currently selected power plan.
    3. Click on "Change advanced power settings";
    4. Expand "Wireless Adapter Settings";
    5. Change the setting in "On battery" and "Plugged in" to "Maximum Performance";
    6. Click Ok to save the changes.
      Note if the mentioned behavior has stopped occurring.

    YES SIR, I think the same problem of mine gets solved. :)

    if i try to figure out the problem then it was probably my laptop loses its control over wifi module, while it was on batterym, bcoz as i suggested the medium performance while on battery in my power plan.

    but now its fine..

    sorry for weak english :(

    hmmm interesting

    im using w10

    navigated to what you menitioned and im on low power saving, other option is medium or maximum power saving.

    there also is a 55 minute time out when machine goes to sleep.

    either way appreciate the help, usually requires a restart and sometimes its running the network problem solver a few times while all screens are shut down to allow this to reset.

    interesting indeed

    thanks again it might not be where the issue is but at least we navigated to the area that might have made some difference

    After a few days, I downgrable to 1030.41.514.2020, this problem is fixed.

    pxanth, you use Windows 10 and can be fixed? Network driver name and version number? You use desktop or laptop?
