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 had to download and install the latest Wi-Fi driver from Intel's site to fix this issue. Windows Update wasn't pulling it down automatically. Once the new driver was installed, Wi-Fi re-connected immediately after sleep without the need to modify any settings.

    I couldn't find "Wireless Adapter Settings" in "Change advanced power settings" in my laptop. Also, no power related option/setting was found in Network adapter settings in Device Manager.

    I opened my laptop, removed the Intel wifi chip, installed a Realtek chip from another computer and all issues are fixed. It seems that it's the Intel chip itself and not a setting somewhere. It is the begining of the chip going out

    So I'm the one who posted the registry solution. I've noticed I still have the issue occasionally but it is one every 2-3 weeks and typically when I haven't used my laptop for several days. Wish I could be more help but I'm at a loss if nothing that's been suggested works.
