Delayed wifi connection

My laptop takes a very long time to connect to all wifi networks, whether it's awakening from sleep, or even if it's a fresh start. It take almost 2 minutes to detect any networks then another 30 seconds to connect to networks once they are detected

Hi Jerdon! My name is David. I am a user of Microsoft products like you, and it is a pleasure to greet you.

The issue you're experiencing with your Wi-Fi may be due to various causes, commonly related to software.

Here are a few common troubleshooting steps that may help in such cases:

  1. Right-click the Start button and select Device Manager. Expand the Network Adapters section. Right-click on your Wi-Fi adapter and choose Update Driver. Select Search automatically for drivers to check for any updates.

If no updates are found, go to the official website of your PC's manufacturer to download and install the latest Wi-Fi driver.

  1. From the same Device Manager section, right-click on your Wi-Fi adapter and select Properties > Power Management, then uncheck the option "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power."
  2. Go to Start > Settings > Network & Internet > Advanced network settings > Network reset. This will reset your PC's network adapters to default values, which can help if there is an issue with the current settings.

Let me know if the shared information has been helpful. Regards.

    Hi David, thanks for reaching out, it's working perfectly now after the reset. My only concern is whether or not this is usually a short term or long term fix
