Network card not detected on WIn 11 on fresh install

Question

I recently reinstalled windows 11 on a lenovo Ideapad gaming three(2022), I have tried multiple times but it will not detect the wifi card. Are there any fixes for this?

Answer 1

On the first installation screen, click Shift + F10 to open a command prompt, then type oobe\bypassnro (no spaces), the PC will restart and you won't need internet to complete the installation, you can install the drivers later or Windows might detect the wi-fi adapter automatically.

Set up Windows 11 without internet - oobe\bypassnro

Hi Tara Kinard,

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Sibro has provided an excellent way to bypass the the out of box experience if you cannot get to the Desktop at the end of the installation process.

If you can get to the Desktop using that method, you will need to go to the support page for you laptop on the Lenovo website on another device, like the one you are using to access this forum, then download the WiFi drivers that Lenovo provide and transfer the installer to your Lenovo laptop, then install that, and when that is installed, all you other drivers will be updated automatically.

Answer 3

I can't seem to open the command line by pressing shift+F10, tried several times but do not get a command line . I installing W11 to a new build Aorus z790 elite x wifi7 mb. which screen should you be pressing shift+F10 . I see you mentioned first screen but that doesn't work for me either. I actually tried pressing shift+f10 on every install screen no command line option appeared.

TIA
