My Computer Can’t Find WiFi After Recent Windows Update

Asked By CuriousCat123 On

I'm having some trouble with my PC since a Windows update. My internet is working perfectly on my phone, but now my laptop can't find any WiFi networks. It's only a year and a half old and was running well until last night when I let it update for about 30 minutes and then went to sleep. I expected it to be fine, but now it keeps saying it needs an Ethernet cable to connect, even though I didn't use one before. I can't check anything online because I have no internet access on my computer. The router is working, and I don't think it's a hardware issue since the temperatures are good, and there are no warning lights on the motherboard. Is there a simple way to roll back the update? I suspect the update caused this mess since everything was fine just a few hours ago. There's also an unknown device listed in Device Manager labeled ACPIAMD102042&DABA3FF&0, but I'm not sure if it relates to the issue. I'm just really frustrated and need some help to get back online for work.

Have you tried rebooting your router? That might help. Also, if you switch your phone to hotspot mode, does your laptop detect it? It sounds like there could be a driver issue involved, especially if you recently upgraded your system. Many users have noticed similar problems after updating to Windows 11, so check your manufacturer's support page for updated drivers.

You might want to try reinstalling your WiFi drivers; that could fix the issue. If you're feeling adventurous, you could also run a cable from your router to see if that gets you internet access. Sometimes those updates mess with internet connections, and reinstalling the drivers can do the trick.
