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. WIFI has gone after sleep mode . When this issue happens, the WIFI icon also disappeared I run troubleshooting, it states that there is no proper network adapter driver installed The WIFI's network adapters driver disappear from the list of device manager when this issue happens. 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. Moderator note < added words, added space and bold words for better clarity & visibility >

I have a Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro (AMD) with a factory installed Wi-Fi card MediaTek MT7921 and after months of trying different drivers I gave up and bought an Intel AX210 card but the problem is still here. Microsoft please fix your poor implementation of the power saving state. Sometimes I can just go to device manager and disable/enable the card and this will work but most of the time I have to do a full restart just so the drivers can kick in. This is just mad.

It is perfectly clear to me as someone with almost 50 years of experience with software design and implementation experience including applications, systems software, device drivers, user interfaces, etc. that Microsoft has no **** idea how to design, implement or test ANYTHING. This should all work totally automatically and work out of the box and should have done so literally for decades. This is REGRESSING from Windows-95!

Followed all your steps and step 4 isn’t there for me, “ wireless adapter settings “ isn’t there

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.

Well, I have the same issue. When my computer sleeps, it comes back with "Wifi unavailable" When i restart, all is well, and back to normal. Getting tired of restarting,

I run troubleshooting, it states that there is no proper network adapter driver installed

The WIFI's network adapters driver disappear from the list of device manager when this issue happens.

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.
