    Hello,

    Open Device Manager (right-click the Start menu > Device Manager), expand the "Network adapters" section, and locate your Wi-Fi device.

    Right-click the device, check the box for "Delete the driver software for this device," and select "Uninstall device."

    Restart your computer after the uninstallation is complete; the system will automatically reinstall the basic driver.

    If the issue persists, you can try using the driver provided by Intel:

    Download and install the driver for your specific model from your computer manufacturer's official website, or use Intel's official driver tool:
