Windows 10: 5G network replaced by a "hidden" network on Windows 11

Has happened before, usually after a windows update, but it usually only happens for a week or so, it has been a month so far. I have attempted to troubleshoot repeatedly to no avail, followed similar issues and their fixes as well.

Delete "hidden network"

Hi,

Deleting or Blocking available networks can only be done using Command Prompt. Follow the steps below:

• Open Command Prompt.
• Type netsh wlan add filter permission=block ssid="WLAN name"
  networtype=infrastructure (Replace WLAN name with "hidden network" or the name of the wireless network you want to block) and press
  Enter.
  
• Close Command Prompt.

To remove/delete the network from the block list. Replace "add" with "delete" on the command in step two.

Looking forward to your response.

-using windows 11 with the latest updates

-my laptop does support 5G network
-tried restarting the laptop but no luck
-updated the wireless driver from device manager but nothing.
