    guys pls help every single time after resumnig from hibernate, my work laptop shows no Wi-Fi networks at all, or its connected but nothing loads... this started right after the Realtek RTL81xx Serie LAN Driver 6.110 udpate. the only reliable fix is a full reboot, which takes forever when Im trying to jump into a meeting... this is what i see:

    Network & internet

    Network & internet
Wi-Fi  •  HomeNet_5G
No internet, secured

Connected, but nothing loads. Troubleshoot problems?

    toggling airplane mode sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. disabling and enabling teh adapter in Device Manager works most of the time. but I shouldn't have to do that ten times a day. is this a power management thing, a driver bug, or both? pls help 🙏

    facepalm

    What does powercfg /a say about available sleep states?

    In Device Manager > Network adapters > your Wi-Fi adapter > Properties > Power Management, untick Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power. This is the most common cause of Wi-Fi not coming back after sleep.

    oof look in Event Viewer > Windows Logs > System around teh wake time for events from the Wi-Fi drievr or WLAN-AutoConfig. A driver that fails to resume usually logs an error there.

    yeahhh if it started with the update, roll back: Device Manager > adapter > Properties > Driver > Roll Back Driver, if it's greyed out, install teh previous package from the Realtek or laptop maker's support page. fingers crossed 🤞
