I'm new to this but I've always been a fan of Windows 10. Recently, I reset my laptop, and to my surprise, it switched to Windows 11 automatically. Ever since the upgrade, my WiFi has been acting up. While I'm browsing the internet, my tabs freeze and show a 'no internet' message even though my laptop says that I'm connected. Strangely, my other devices work fine. I've tried following steps from YouTube tutorials, but nothing has worked. Should I keep trying to troubleshoot this or just downgrade back to Windows 10? I'd really appreciate any helpful suggestions!

Just a heads up, before you make bigger changes like downgrading to Windows 10, try running the Network Troubleshooter. This can sometimes automatically fix connection issues.
Have you checked if there’s a specific driver for your WiFi card that works with Windows 11? Sometimes the default drivers don’t work well. It’s best to uninstall the current driver and install the latest one from your laptop’s support page or the WiFi card manufacturer’s website.
Also, if you’re using a lot of Bluetooth devices in the same area, it might be causing interference, especially if you're on a 2.4GHz network. Maybe try switching to a 5GHz network if you can?
Thanks for the tip! I’ve reset my network settings and switched to a private network, but I’ll definitely look into updating my WiFi driver next.
