Windows 11 keeps dropping wifi

Hi Kevin,

I'm going to take this a step further and tell you that mine is not just dropping the connection, it's dropping the whole device. When the WiFi disconnects on my laptop, the adapter disappears from the networks page and the device disappears from the device manager. I re-installed the driver and got it to come back for about a day. I then did a soft re-install of Windows 11 and it stayed connected for about 4 hours. At this point I'm just going back to Win 10 until Microsoft fixes its software.

 

Plugging in Laptop.

Welcome to Ten Forums


I have an Acer Aspire 3 too, though mine has now upgraded to Windows 11.

Many would give their eye teeth to be able to turn off that beep. *Biggrin

This seems to be a uniquely Acer thing. All Acer laptops seem to make that beep when the power is connected/disconnected, and there is no obvious setting in Windows or the bios to turn this on or off. Following the trail of those trying to turn it off suggests this is where you need to look:

windows 10 - Disable beep sound when plugging/unplugging laptop charger - Super User


In your case of course you need to make sure the Realtek HD Audio Manager is fully enabled rather than muted.

I've tried it on my Acer Aspire and can confirm that muting the Realtek HD Audio Manager (or Universal Service as it appears in W11) does indeed turn of that beep, quite independently of all other system sounds or audio output. Settings has a quite different layout in Windows 11, but still has all the same settings as Windows 10. This is what I see in W11's Settings.






EDIT: and here are the same settings pages for Windows 10, taken from an old Acer Aspire One netbook.
