I'm having a frustrating issue with my Asus TUF F15 laptop running Windows 11 Pro. Every time I start it up, I briefly see available Wi-Fi connections, but then the option disappears. Airplane mode is definitely off. When I tried to access the Advanced Wi-Fi network properties during that brief window, I got an error message saying, 'Windows has encountered an error saving the wireless profile. Specific error: The parameter is incorrect.' After that, I can't even see the Wi-Fi option anymore. It's also worth noting that it won't connect to my phone's hotspot either. I've heard of some others experiencing similar problems after a recent update. Should I just stick to USB tethering until a fix comes out?

Have you tried shutting down your laptop with the Shift key held down? This will bypass the fast startup feature and give everything a fresh restart. Also, you might want to disable and re-enable your Wi-Fi adapter. If that doesn’t help, doing a "network reset" can sometimes fix these types of issues. Don’t forget to check for driver updates for your Wi-Fi card in Windows Update under 'Advanced Options'—and see if there are any available optional updates.
I found a Realtek LAN driver on the download page for drivers... should I download it? I hope I won't have to mess with the BIOS, I'm really not that tech-savvy.
