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 noticed after your post that both my BT and network adapter were both Realtek. So I tried your fix as there was a power management tab in the BT properties. First shot, I let it sleep for 3 hours and had wifi on wake up. So here's hoping. Why couldn't MS or card maker figure this out a while ago?

    My 2 new computers have no power management tabs. Only my older one does.

    Just adding on that I also have a Strix and this has started happening around a week or so ago, I think. Following basically everything I've seen online so far and nothing works (even a factory reset).

    This started happening on my Strix yesterday as well. I can not figure out how to fix it

    I have a Strix also and this just started happening to me also. It's so annoying.
