    Hello,

    Most bluetooth or wifi issue can be resolved by doing a power reset.

    To do so, turn off the computer, unplug the computer from the power cord, then hold down the power button for 30 seconds. Turn the computer back on to see if it works.

    If not, Can you share with me two screenshots please?

    1. Go to Device Manager > Network Adapters, I would like to see what's listed.
    2. Please type msinfo32.exe in the search on the taskbar and hit enter, then share a screenshot of the pop up.

    Thanks!

    Follow these steps in order on the Windows 11 PC to fix a missing or non‑working Wi‑Fi driver:

    1. Check that the adapter is detected and enabled
      1. Select Search on the taskbar, type Device Manager, and select Device Manager.
      2. Expand Network adapters.
      3. If a wireless adapter is listed but shows a down arrow icon, press and hold (or right‑click) it and select Enable device.
      4. If no wireless adapter is listed at all, Windows is not detecting it and a driver must be installed manually from the PC or adapter manufacturer’s website.
    2. Verify the adapter is not being filtered out
      1. In Device Manager, under Network adapters, double‑click the wireless adapter (if present).
      2. Select Properties > Advanced tab.
      3. Look for Wireless Mode or Band and make sure it allows the frequency your router uses (for example, both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz). If the adapter filters out the band in use, no Wi‑Fi networks will appear.
    3. Update or reinstall the driver
      1. Still in Device Manager, expand Network adapters and locate the wireless adapter.
      2. Press and hold (or right‑click) the adapter and select Uninstall device.
      3. Check Attempt to remove the driver for this device (or Delete the driver software for this device if shown), then select Uninstall.
      4. Restart the PC: Start > Power > Restart.
      5. After restart, Windows will try to automatically reinstall the driver. If it does not, install the driver you downloaded from the PC or adapter manufacturer (use another PC plus a USB drive if this PC has no internet).
    4. If the adapter still does not appear
      1. In Device Manager, if the wireless adapter is still missing under Network adapters, manually install the correct driver package from the device manufacturer that supports Windows 11.
      2. If a Problem number or error code appears for the adapter in Device Manager, use that code with the manufacturer’s support or documentation to determine why the driver is not loading.
    5. As a last resort (if Settings or networking is corrupted) If there is a working Ethernet connection, perform an in‑place repair of Windows 11 using the official Windows 11 ISO (keeping files and apps). This can repair damaged networking components and restore Wi‑Fi functionality without removing personal data.
