Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz device is not working (code 10/43)

Question

I keep facing the issue of my intel wifi adapter giving me the code 10/43 for 2 weeks already

I've tried reinstalling the driver, rollback the driver to an older version, holding the power button for 40 sec to restart the hardware, typing the ipconfig commands in the cmd prompt, troubleshooting, reset network. I've also tried to load from the system point but it gave me alot of other software problems so I had to update everything again. I've also downloaded the latest driver from my manufacture website and did an update using that and I've checked that my BIOS is the latest version. I've also tried unchecking the "allow computer to turn this device off to save power".

This problem occurred when I did some additional updates for my drivers in the windows update. The updates are called "INTEL - System - 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM - 10.1.1.42", "Microsoft - Other hardware - Microsoft Wireless Router Module" and ASUSTek COMPUTER INC - Firmware -10.0.18362.311". I did this updates cause my bluetooth disappeared from the device manager and the updates helped to bring it back. Unfortunately no such restore point exist before this date as it somehow disappeared(I didn't know it could so I did not restore to before this point).
Sometimes some of these methods will work and I can connect to my wifi. Then I've also tried just shutting it down overnight and my wifi was working for the entire next day but it only lasted for 3 days. It always ends up with the same error. This occurs most often when I try to play my games like honkai impact 3 and honkai star rail. Using only chrome decreases the chance of this issue but it has happened before too.
I took a look at my event viewer and under device manager I found out about this error "Device PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_06F0&SUBSYS_00748086&REV_00\3&11583659&1&A3 had a problem starting." which occurs when I on the computer. Under administrative events. I also have multiple errors like:

Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz : A required parameter is missing from the registry,

Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz : Has determined that the network adapter is not functioning properly,

Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz : Could not allocate the resources necessary for operation,

Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz : The version number is incorrect for this driver,

Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz : The network adapter has returned an invalid value to the driver and

ACPI: ACPI BIOS is attempting to write to an illegal PCI Operation Region (0x10), Please contact your system vendor for technical assistance.

Does "Device PCI....." error have anything to do with why my wifi adapter keep crashing because this error has the service "Netwtw10" which is the name of the source for my intel wifi errors. I'm really desperate for help as I have an online interview coming up next Monday and I really wish my wifi adapter does not go out in the middle of the interview. What else can I try?

Answer 1

"There was an even newer one on the intel website wow. But aren't we suppose to download the drivers from our manufacture website to ensure compatibility with the bios and everything?"

-Yes, it's recommended to use the driver provided by the laptop manufacturer, but sometimes the problems are fixed on the newest driver versions provided by the wireless card manufacturer and could take a while until the laptop manufacturer updates the website to the latest version of the driver.

"I've tried with the latest wifi and Bluetooth drivers but the same error is happening again when I try to play my games"

-Error code 43 also could be caused by a hardware issue. In this case, you will need to contact Asus support, they will be able to help you identify what is causing the problem and guide you on how to fix it.

Answer 2

I have the same code 43 block on my Dell laptop Inspiron 13 7000 2-in-1 model 7391, motherboard Model 0070P2 Version A00, windows 11 Home 64 bit Version (Build) 23H2 (10.0.22631).

Answer 3

I have experienced the same problem twice and spent at least 4 hours on it each time. I don't actually know what fixed it the first time around but this time - just before deciding to buy a new Network Interface Card to replace the AX201 in my Lenovo Yoga - I tried the instructions in the video linked below.

Note that I did not take the first step described in the video because I had already done that a few times.

I believe the ultimate solution was found in the CMD prompt instructions about 2/3 of the way through the video.  Fix Lenovo Wi-Fi Not Working in Windows 10/8/7 [2024 Solution]

I hope this helps others. I know that, if this happens again, I'm going straight to the video to see if following the instructions will work again.
