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.

    thanks again the win 10 version doesn't show those in hidden devices .

    i can tell you its got to be the damn hp machine or some awful update that i cannot avoid, this persistent update will nag and finally do its self that.

    if anything win xp was great, the subsequent versions are friggin wierd, menus and hidden things, no simple way to find what is hidden and much is not offered.

    why does **** bill not recognize this.. and so much more....

    ill bet he had a gr3eat time hidding features as he did hidding his exploits on epsteins island

    Try Control Panel /Hardware and Sound/ Device Manger, it should be one of the first few entries. Hard to imagine a computer without Bluetooth.

    Another one with the same issue and it's really starting to tick me off. I have an MSI Titan GT77 with the Killer 6e ax1675i card. I've tried the bluetooth card trick, and all of the registry tricks, nothing is working. I can't believe Microsoft hasn't fixed this yet. Oh wait, yeah I can.

    So driver updates and everything else in here still didn't fix my issue. I wound up buying a cheap Asus wifi dongle from Best Buy and disabled the Killer Wifi card. Since then, 0 issues. I'm just going to replace the onboard Wifi card with another one that isn't Intel. Still really frustrating that there isn't a fix that works for everyone.

    So far this seems to work! I have put my HP Elitebook to sleep and opened it 7 times and it keeps the internet connection. This answer needs to be elevated to the top answer for this problem! It is the only thing that has worked.
