    Wi-Fi Adapter Malfunction: Frequent Disconnections or Greyed-Out Wi-Fi No SSIDs Visible


    Hello Microsoft Support Team,We're experiencing persistent issues with our Wi-Fi adapter on Windows 11. The problem manifests in one of two ways:Frequent disconnections: The Wi-Fi connects but drops randomly.Wi-Fi is greyed out: No SSIDs are visible, and the adapter appears disabled or unresponsive.When we roll back the driver it works fine. But after windows updates the issue starts again. Even we did applied restriction on drivers updates from registry and group policy to disable auto-update. We have more then 50 Lenovo TB14 Laptops all started same issues after the windows Updates.

    :)

    Virtual Wi-fi Adapter

    Hi, I'm using my laptop as a second screen for my desktop. (by pressing win + p) For some reason, this feature is only available in Windows if your desktop has a wi-fi adapter. Funny thing is, that after I connect to my laptop with wi-fi, I can remove the adapter and it still works. I just managed to brake my adapter, so I was thinking if I can create a virtual wi-fi adapter somehow just to enable this option. Any suggestions?

    USB Wi-Fi Adapter Disabling

    Is it on Windows 8's compatibility list (check MS website- forgot link)?

    I had an issue with one Wi-fi adapter and it wasn't listed as compatible- All was well when I swapped it out with one on the compatibility list

    Wi-Fi disconnect

    Windows doesn't disconnect a properly working WiFi. Mine NEVER disconnects since the last time I restarted my computer. I suggest to check for near-by WiFi radios to see if your channel is too crowded or if all the channels are crowded, just switch to 5 GHz band like mine
