    Thank you everyone for your advice. Sadly, it is only half useful (respectfully).

    The Surface Laptop 3 and 4 have a major recurring problem. Every so often, the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drivers become inaccessible.

    I have a workaround to get them up and running again but it is not a solution. I am posting it here to help others who will be in the same position.

    When the Wi-Fi becomes unavailable, open "Device Manager". It should open to show the adapter is not available. Select the device. "User's image

    Select "Properties".

    Select the "Advanced" tab.

    Unter the Value window change the 6 to 5 and okay. Then change it back to 6 and okay.

    The adaptor should kick back into life.

    @Microsoft you can easily sort this.
