Inspiron 5400 Wifi driver error(code 56)
After installing a driver update from Intel's official site my Computer's wifi stopped working.I checked device manager and it Said "Windows is still settings up the class configration(Code:56)".
I tried to remove the driver, reinstall the driver and nothing worked. But when I booted into Ubuntu Live CD Wifi was working.
My ethernet still works, but i cant see my wifi on anywhere(Including connections tab)
Driver name is: Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160Mhz
Windows Version:Windows 11
No Events found!

For starters, power AIO off and unplug the power cord from rear of AIO. Press/hold power button for ~30 sec. Reconnect power cord to rear of AIO and boot up. See if WiFi is working now.
If not, open Device Manager and click Action>Show hidden on DM toolbar. Now see if there are any "Unknown" devices listed. If you find any, right click and uninstall. Then -without rebooting- click Action>Scan for hardware changes. See if WiFi works now, and/or after a reboot.

Do you know what Intel Update was installed?
You could try doing a System Restore using the last restore point before that update got installed. Personal files won't be affected, but any software updates installed after date of that restore point will need to be reinstalled.
If that doesn't help, you may want to get rid of those two Microsoft Wi-Fi direct virtual adapter entries. Read this.

1st I dont have a system restore point
2nd My computer says This device doesnt support Miracast(But as far as i know it does) Removing those drivers didnt work
I also forgotten to mention there is also a code 56 Bluetooth Device that is called Bluetooth Device(Personality Area Network)
For your 3rd answer it says version 22.150 while broken driver says it is 22.200.2.1
EDIT:Maybe I can find more info on event viewer I will update as soon as i can

WiFi and BT are on same card, so if both are getting a Code 56, it's possible the entire card isn't being seen by BIOS and/or has failed.
Looks like the latest BT driver is here. See if this one installs and that stops the Code 56 at least for BT.
Where does it the driver is "version 22.150", and where does it say "22.200.21 failed"?

1st I tried to install, Nothing showed up and it Said installed successfuly
2nd The wifi and The BT driver link You have was 22.150.1.1 (On the file name and installer)WWhile device manager says it is 22.200
When i run your driver installer it says Repair(Bottom Corner) But when i try to install from latest package(22.200) it says Install (Bottom Corner)
When i try to install from latest package it fails at 50 percent(As log file says)
But when i install it from your driver it says Installation Successful and nothing changes
The Bluetooth works, The driver i mean is in Network adapters.

You said BT also gives you a code 56, so surprising it's working.
Try a Network Reset:
Start>Settings>Network and Internet>Advanced network settings>Network reset
Note: if you're using a VPN, you will have to reconfigure it.
If that doesn't help, try this:

Looks like chkdsk fixed some things so that's good.
Even if you've already run the DISM and sfc commands, run them now that chkdsk fixed things.
