Hi! I've been having some connection issues recently (for a period of 3-4 weeks now) where the WiFi randomly disconnects and then after 10-30 mins it reconnects. If I turn off the wifi from my laptop and then turn it on immediately it reconnects as well so it's not that I need to wait for 10 mins till it reconnects. But this continuous loss of connection is really annoying me. I've tried updating or uninstalling the network adapter driver but it doesn't work. The events log of the driver shows this:
Device PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_06F0&SUBSYS_40708086&REV_00\3&11583659&0&A3 had a problem starting.
Driver Name: oem184.inf
Class Guid: {4d36e972-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}
Service: Netwtw10
Lower Filters:
Upper Filters: vwifibus
Problem: 0x0
Problem Status: 0xC00000E5
I saw a similar error here so I followed their steps and ran netsh wlan show interfaces and got this output:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> netsh wlan show interfaces
There is 1 interface on the system:
*Name : WiFi*
*Description : Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz*
*GUID : 3f829797-2378-4979-a456-c030f51d2663*
*Physical address : 7c:50:79:b7:4a:cb*
*Interface type : Primary*
*State : connected*
*SSID : doritoWiFi*
*BSSID : d4:b9:2f:10:ea:39*
*Network type : Infrastructure*
*Radio type : 802.11ac*
and so on.
The device itself seems to be working properly, but it keeps disconnecting. This is my events log for the adapter:
Error 18-12-2022 13:11:32 Kernel-PnP 411 None
Information 18-12-2022 13:11:32 Kernel-PnP 400 None

Its also interesting that the same errors and event logs happen for everything under the Network Adapters tab in the Device Manager, even Bluetooth, which I use extensively and has never caused any problems. I'm not sure what the fix is. I was thinking that maybe there's a compatibility issue between my driver and Windows 11 so maybe I could somehow switch back to Windows 10, but I want to keep that as a last resort. Can anyone please advise me on what to do?
