Windows cannot get IPv6 addr

Question

For a long time, my computer may not be able to get IPv6 when connected to any Wi-Fi.

I'm 100% sure this this problem of Windows because:

• Not every Wi-Fi has this problem. But for those doesn't work for the first time, it will never work.
• My Linux system can always obtain one. (Not WSL, but dual boot).
• DisabledComponents at Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TCPIP6\Parameters is automatically reset to 8 every time after I set it to 0.
• I had reset networks many times.

OS Name Microsoft Windows 11 Pro

Version 10.0.22621 Build 22621

System SKU LENOVO_MT_21CX_BU_idea_FM_ThinkBook 14 G4+ IAP

If there is anything I can do, pls let me know.

Answer 2

Problem solved by uninstalling the driver.

I only tried reinstalling the driver but didn't expect to be able to just uninstall it.

Now the only possibility is that the driver I downloaded from Lenovo is not the correct one😥

Thanks a lot.
