Windows 10: WiFi problems with latest Windows 11 update on 16th February

david McGarry · Feb 21, 2025

The latest Windows 11 update installed automatically on my Lenovo desktop on 16th February. It removed my WiFi input completely. When I uninstalled the update WiFi was enabled again, but when update was reinstalled yet again WiFi was eliminated. What on earth is going on, major inconvenience and no fix, not good enough
