I'm having trouble with my dual boot setup—I've got Windows 11 on an SSD and Ubuntu LTS on an HDD. I've mostly used Ubuntu since I set this up in September, but recently I booted into Windows for a project, and now my internet connections (both ethernet and wifi) aren't working on Ubuntu, even though they show as connected. I've tried disabling fastboot on Windows, toggling the connections off and on, and powering down instead of rebooting, but nothing seems to fix it. Can anyone help me figure this out?

Disabling fast boot helped me with my dual boot issues, so that's a good first step. Just keep in mind if you've been messing with Secure Boot, that might complicate things. If Secure Boot was enabled when you installed both systems, it's best to leave it on. Also, consider checking if there's anything weird going on with your router—it’s been known to happen with compromised devices. It could just be Windows 11 causing some odd behaviors; I've dealt with similar issues with my Windows 10 and Debian setup.
I haven’t enabled Secure Boot, but I’ll definitely check out that video for some troubleshooting ideas. Thanks!
