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 cant believe this issue still exists. I am facing this issue on my Asus Laptop. Every time I have to restart my laptop because my wifi option goes missing. I tried everything on Internet and nothing helped me so far. I also faced similar wifi disappearing issue on my another pc. My system is up to date.

    i have the same issue on my new rog strix scar with ryzen 7 cpu and rtx gpu , after the leptop wakes up from sleep mode the wifi isn't finding any networks anymore, only restarting the laptop fixes this issue . i used windows 10 pro before and had no problems but now i'm using windows 11 home ( came with the laptop ) and i noticed this issue and is very annoying...cause i stream and stuff and i need it to connect always , this might be a windows 11 bug

    My Strix (Ryzen 9 5900HX and 6800M) started doing this last night after I had to reinstall Armoury Crate (cringe).

    Its definitely software related and a bug. But bloody annoying that there's no fix!

    Been running fine for EXACTLY a year.

    MS isn't very responsive. I have 3 computers running W11, only one has 22H2 and that's the one not working. Other 2 with 21H1 work fine.
