    Or get the latest driver from the manufacturer’s website.

    2. Disable Power Saving

    In Device Manager → Wi-Fi adapter → Properties → Power Management tab.

    Uncheck “Allow the computer to turn off this device”.

    Disable “Use hardware acceleration when available”.

    Run msconfig → Boot tab → Safe boot with Networking.

    Restart and test if the issue still happens.

    If Wi-Fi works, adjust or change your security software.
