Windows 10: Computer will not connect to 5GHz Wi-Fi after Windows update following a fresh install

Brought it home and noticed it did not connect to my Wi-Fi this was on the Windows install from the person that sold it to me. Paid no mind, proceeded to fresh Win11 install.During install, it connected quickly to 5.0GHz Wi-Fi, downloaded updates, no issues. I checked the Wi-Fi speed out of curiosity and got a reported 600+ Mbps, to be expected out of my TP-Link AX53 also known as AX3000 router. I get the same performance on another PC with an Intel 9260 Wi-Fi module.After updates and auto driv
