Windows 10: Wi-Fi disappears after waking laptop up from Sleep

Background: I'm using Windows 11 Educational Edition on Dell Vostro 14-3468 Machine.Before that, I used to face the same problem on Windows 10 and it's irritating me for almost 4-5 months.Question: Suppose I am working on my laptop and it's working fine including internet options. For some reason, I have to pause my work. I simply close the laptop lid and come back again after few minutes/hours. But sadly, Wifi option is nowhere in the settings. Most of the time, I have to reset internet and network settings and restart PC for solving the problem and then this option appears again. A few times

HP Desktop: Wi-Fi issues after waking from sleep.

 

Wi-Fi adapter not powered up after sleep

I am sure I've seen a discussion of this issue before, but I can't find it and therefore decided to start a new thread. I have a very annoying issue that after my laptop "sleeps" sometimes the network connection is unavailable, regardless of whether it's Wi-Fi or Ethernet.

The laptop (LG Gram) has only one sleep state available - S0 "modern standby" which is apparently "network connected". That last bit confuses me since if it's "connected", then why is there no connectivity after it wakes up? When I mean no connectivity, I mean none at all, even proper Wi-Fi settings, such as the on/off switch are not there. The only way to connect is to reboot, which of course defeats the purpose of sleep or whatever modern nonsense this is. Another "symptom" is that the settings for the Wi-Fi adapter do not include Power Options (I read somewhere on the internet that this problem may be solved by changing power settings fro the adapter).

I did find a tutorial on how to enable/disable network connectivity in that standby state. Will disabling this solve my issue? I also found a reddit post regarding this issue suggesting a registry hack. This is also mentioned in the discussion attached to the tutorial, but from those posts I feel reluctant to follow the suggestions in reddit.

Finally, I think I had this issue on my desktop but there I managed to get rid of the S0 in favor of S3 - this is the only available sleep state on my desktop. Just to specify, the desktop is W10 21H2, 19044.1469 , while the laptop is 19044.1466. At this point I have completely forgotten what was the problem on the desktop and what was it that I did to get rid of S0. The only thing I can surmise is that I did not reinstall Windows, so that switch must have been possible at least at some point in the past, although the tutorial states that it's impossible.
