Hot Take Here's the Easiest Way to Reinstall Windows 11 and Fix Problems

[HarborFront]

That seems like a driver issue. Are you using drivers from HP website or letting Windows update install them?

I let Windows update the driver and it says I got the lstest version

I also think that there is a driver problem. You can activate the driver search directly for the device in the Device Manager.

Done that. Windows says it's the latest driver

I uninstalled the WiFi 6E driver, re-boot the system and the problem is still there. See below

I think the WiFi 6E card is dead...........cannot connect to WiFi and cannot tether through my hp using WiFi or BT

Can you try one more thing?

1. Block windows update from installing driver. (Windows update has ruined drivers for me so many times that I just disable it)
2. Then download drivers manually from HP LG website for your specific device.
3. Uninstall old drivers (don't forget to check the box that says "Attempt to remove the driver..."), then reboot.
4. Install downloaded drivers and reboot.

There may be an optional driver update available for it.

My laptop is LG and the card is an Intel card so why HP? If really need to download from HP do you have the link to HP website for driver download?

I might have misunderstood because you mentioned HP in a previous post. Just try above steps and replace HP with LG

Edit: I just realized how off topic we went here, maybe create a new thread and tag me

Just try the latest Intel wifi driver from their site:

Intel® Wireless Wi-Fi Drivers for Windows® 10 and Windows 11*

This download installs the Windows® 10 and Windows 11* Wi-Fi package drivers 23.90.0 for the Intel® Wi-Fi 7/Wi-Fi 6E/Wi-Fi 6 and Intel® 9000 series Wireless Adapters

www.intel.com

Works without any issues on my LG gram with the same wifi adapter.

Why not just use Driver Booster or some similar program to do the job for you ?

Or Driver Easy. I think Roger likes that one best

Because they cause more problems than they solve. They are not needed anymore since Win 7. Either download drivers manually (preferred on Laptops) or let Windows update handle it.

Yes in general you are right but in this specific case it would be the first thing I would do it just to get an easy fix.

I don't trust them enough to get the drivers right. And why download another software when you can download drivers either from laptop manufacturer or OEM (Intel in this case).

Because this has already been done and hasn`t worked.

I wouldn`t use them myself except when all else fails.

It's fine to use driver update tools, if used with caution. It makes it a lot easier to install driver updates, than manually downloading and installing drivers. There's generally no need to install every driver update. But they can be very useful for installing drivers for devices which have no driver, or only a generic Microsoft driver installed and updating drivers for devices which have issues.
