Wifi keeps disconnecting after recent Windows 11, 22H2 update
Dell G3 15 3500
Hi Team
Ever since I updated to the Windows 11, 22H2 update back in September 22 my WiFi has been disconnecting randomly and also when I start my laptop up it takes ages to try get a connection (after I keep needing to connect and reconnect). Before the update it was instant connection I have automatic connection on but it doesn't auto connect.
I have tried the following:
Forget and Reconnect to WiFi Network
Ensured Enable WLAN Auto Config Service was done
Update WIFI drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled drivers
Reset network adapters
and other suggestions
However the only thing I can come back to is this update and that I think I might need to go back to the version before 22H2. But I cannot roll back so would have to a clean install in which I will prob lose all my things which I dont really want to do.
Has any one had any luck fixing this issue as I do see a lot of people have been having WIFI issues since this update?
I also noticed the below in the Events Viewer for the Wifi that on the same day I did the update to the new version I had this error on the Wifi - does anyone know what this means?
and this also showed up today - unsure what this means either and if this is the cause of the issue

It may not make much difference, but do you know which Wi-Fi adapter your system is using? There seems to be a choice of several different ones and even the download site has two different versions of drivers available.
If you do not know, open the Device Manager and select Network Adapters and it should show the version.
Today, Windows offered a new Intel driver for my devices, which may not be the same as yours, but they were 22.180.x.x.
Some errors may show up in the Event Viewer from time to time. Unless they happen frequently, they may not be relevant. If you look at the graph created by the command below when used in a run box, you may see a pattern of errors.

This is my last resort - as I don't want to lose all my games - as I won't be able to download back again if I do this and it does not fix my Wifi issue :(.

Hello,
Open a command prompt as administrator and type sfc /scannow this operation can take a while if you have allot of damaged system files wait until it is completed after that reboot and pray your wifi is working again.

You can resolve this problem swiftly by flushing your current DNS. Corrupted / Incompatible Network adapter driver – As it turns out, another potential cause that might cause these random WiFi disconnects is a partially incompatible or corrupted network adapter driver.
