    Wifi keeps getting disabled


    I have a laptop running windows 11 and everytime I want to use a wired connection I need to use an adapter to USB-C. THe problem however is that the moment I plug it in my WIFI connection gets disabled and cannot be turned back on when it is still plugged in. Besides that it also does not allow for me to set up a hotspot on my laptop to share the wired connection with other devices like I got used to doing on my previous laptop.

    Wifi adapter keeps disabling itself.

    For about a week now I've had to deal with my computer suddenly disconnecting itself from the internet. There doesn't seem to be any particular timing to it; I'll just be going about my business and suddenly it'll disconnect and won't be able to find a network
    connection for about a minute. The exception is that it always seemed to disconnect after I put it into sleep mode, but that seems to have subsided. Upon examining it a bit closer in the device manager, it seems the network adapter itself keeps getting disabled
    and then coming back on after a little while.

    I've tried several commonly suggested things to fix the problem, including:

    • Disabling the option to turn wifi off for power reasons.
    • Updating my network drivers.
    • Setting my home networks to a private connection instead of public.
    • Temporarily disabling firewalls.
    • Performing a networking reset.
    • Uninstalling and reinstalling the network adapter.

    The latter two seemed to somewhat fix the issue, as it now no longer always goes off after putting it to sleep, but I still keep getting random disconnects. The rest have not helped at all.

    I had thought that the issue might have had something to do with AVG, since it started occuring around the time that I was uninstalling and reinstalling that, but it still persisted after I tried disabling that for a while so I'm not so sure.

    I keep losing my WiFi adapter

    I tried the Option 2 approach but kept getting the Error NetSetupDeleteObjecton Network Adapter error (0x80070005) error, even after a dozen executions of the command. That seemed like it was going nowhere so I tried Option 1.

    After completing the reboot in Option 1, I never got the dialog that asked if I wanted to make the computer discoverable, even after a significant wait.

    Do you have any further suggestions? I'm going to move on to "Compumind's" suggestion in the meantime and see if that helps....

    - - - Updated - - -

    I started working my way down the list.

    1. Both the ipv4 and ipv6 resets said "access denied!". However, the mere attempt worked *briefly*, then the WiFi went down again.
    2. I disabled and re-enabled the network adapter. Again, it worked *briefly*, then I lost the WiFi again.
    3. I tried to disable the antivirus but couldn't find a setting for that so uninstalled it entirely. I got the WiFi back and this time it stayed on for several hours instead of a few minutes so I assumed it was fixed. Then I installed the new Avast One and the WiFi is still working so I'm assuming that all is well finally!

    Thank you for this list of suggestions!!!

    WiFi Adapter keeps disabling itself

    My WiFi adapter keeps disabling itself. This started sometime in Nov 2016 or so with a new update. Before that, it worked fine.

    I have done all the "suggestions", but none have worked. Any new ideas?

    My mom's computer keeps losing internet as well (running Windows 10 also). I asked Uncle Google and maybe hers is a DNS issue, but why? I tried on her computer disabling the Wired Ethernet Card that some suggested, etc.

    I am very annoyed. I really liked Windows 10 when it first came out, but it seems every time we get a new update, it breaks something else.
