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 installed the driver of my wifi (Qualcomm) and it is solved. Now, my laptop goes back to normal.

    Thanks for the clarification.

    In Windows 11, as in Windows 10, some devices may have a "Power Management" tab. For some reason, yours doesn't.

    Do a clean install of the Wi-Fi driver as instructed below and see if the mentioned behavior stops.

    Before starting the procedure, download the latest Wi-Fi driver from the link below.

    https://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/4t...

    Source: https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/lap...

    Uninstall the current driver:

    1. Open "Device Manager" (Windows + X and select Device Manager);
    2. Expand "Network adapters";
    3. Right-click on the Wi-Fi adapter and select "Uninstall device";
    4. On the confirmation screen, check "Delete the driver software for this device" and click "Ok";
    5. Restart the PC.

    Install the driver you downloaded.
