    Windows 11 does not recognize WiFi/Bluetooth adapter on new PC build


    Hello,I recently built a PC. The motherboard is ROG STRIX Z790-H GAMING WIFI. It has a wifi adapter that plugs in via two coax cables to the motherboard.I installed Ubuntu and the WiFi worked immediately, just fine.However, I installed Windows 11 via a USB media installation, and there is no sign of WiFi or bluetooth. It does not show up in the bottom right popup. And when I open Device Manager, the hardware does not display on the list under Bluetooth or Network adapters.Screenshots of Device Manager and system info here: https://imgur.com/a/fhOx3asI am trying to figure out why this strangely

    :)

    Wifi adapter disappears - goes 'hidden'


    Running Windows 10 on an Acer laptop. Over the past month, the wifi connection dropped without explanation/warning.

    First time, the adapter was visible in Device Manager (with a yellow triangle next to it). An interent search found the suggestion to uninstall it and restart. That worked.

    Today, the connection dropped again. In Device Manager at first I could not see the wifi adapter listed. I clicked to see hidden devices and found the adapter and the Bluetooth (which I had not noticed was missing).

    I again uninstalled, restarted, and both the wifi and bluetooth have returned.

    Anyone any ideas as to what is happening, why it's happening, and what I need to do, please?

    I have attached a screenshot of the DM windows as it is now, showing the wifi adapter name, etc.

    Thanks very much

    Installing Windows 11 on New PC Build

    Hello - I am running into an issue while trying to install Windows 11 on my new PC build.

    I am able to get to the step where Windows wants to connect to a network in order to continue with the installation. However, I am not identifying any networks whatsoever. I have tried WiFi as well as having the PC plugged directly into the router via an ethernet cable. However, I continue to get stuck on this screen (screen shot below).

    Here is a link to the parts used to build the PC in case that helps identify the issue: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kWRmxs

    Does anyone have any insights to the steps I need to take to resolve this issue?

    Thanks for your help!

    Bluetooth Device is removed from Network Adapters when Bluetooth is turned on - Windows 11

    I have a new laptop with Windows 11, and the behavior for the Bluetooth Network Adapter is not behaving as expected.

    The issue is:

    "In order to disable the Bluetooth Device from the Device Manager, the Bluetooth needs to be turned OFF to display the device in the list of Network Adapter."

    Is this a bug?

    On the Windows 11 system I have, the Bluetooth Device will only display in the list of Network Adapters when the Bluetooth Device is ENABLED and OFF.

    The Bluetooth option was working correctly, the Bluetooth option is available in the Settings and turned ON.

    When I opened the Device Manager, the Bluetooth Device was not listed in the Device Manager under Network Adapters.

    The Bluetooth option is still available in the Settings allowing me to change the Bluetooth OFF and ON.

    When I go to the Settings and turn the Bluetooth OFF, the Device Manager is updated and the Bluetooth Device is now displayed in the list of Network Adapters.

    If I return to the Settings and turn the Bluetooth ON, the Network Adapter for the Bluetooth Device is removed from the list of Network Adapters again.

    This was not the behavior I expected. I get the same results using the Bluetooth ON/OFF or the Airplane Mode settings for the Bluetooth ON/OFF.

    Basically, when the Bluetooth Device is ENABLED and ON, it is NOT displaying in the list of Adapters.

    The Bluetooth needs to be ENABLED and OFF in order to locate the Network Adapter in the Device Manager.

    The Bluetooth Device itself is working correctly; however the device is not listed in the Device Manager when it is ENABLED, ON, and working.

    Is this a bug? This is only occurring on my Windows 11 laptop. The Windows 10 displays the Bluetooth Device in the Device Manager when it is ENABLED, and does not change if the Bluetooth Device is switched ON or OFF .

    Thank you in Advance.
