    Follow these steps to solve the issue:

    1. Update Network Adapter Driver:
      • Outdated or incompatible drivers can cause issues. Try updating your network adapter driver:
        1. Press Windows key + X and select Device Manager.
        2. Expand the Network Adapters section.
        3. Right-click on your network adapter and choose Update driver.
        4. Select Search automatically for updated driver software and let Windows find and install the latest driver.
    2. Check for Windows Updates:
      • Sometimes Windows updates include driver updates. Make sure your system is up to date:
        1. Press Windows key + I to open Settings.
        2. Go to Update & Security > Windows Update.
        3. Click on Check for updates and install any available updates.
    3. Disable Fast Startup:
      • Fast Startup can sometimes cause driver-related issues during boot. Try disabling it:
        1. Open Control Panel.
        2. Go to Power Options.
        3. Click on Choose what the power buttons do.
        4. Click on Change settings that are currently unavailable.
        5. Uncheck Turn on fast startup and save changes.
    4. Reset Network Settings:
      • Resetting network settings might help:
        1. Open Settings.
        2. Go to Network & Internet.
        3. Click on Network reset and follow the prompts.
        4. Restart your PC and check if the issue persists.
    5. Check for Hardware Issues:
      • Ensure that your network adapter hardware is functioning correctly. Try using a different network adapter (if available) to see if the problem persists.
    6. Manually Install the Driver:
      • If Windows doesn’t automatically install the driver, you can manually download it from the manufacturer’s website:
        1. Identify your network adapter model (you can find it in Device Manager).
        2. Visit the manufacturer’s website (e.g., HP) and search for your specific model.
        3. Download the latest driver for your network adapter.
        4. Install it manually by right-clicking on the network adapter in Device Manager and selecting Update driver > Browse my computer for drivers.

    Remember to document any changes you make during troubleshooting. If the issue persists, consider seeking further assistance from HP support or community forums. Hopefully, we can resolve this issue and keep your network adapter stable! 🌟
