Hi @Tusar95837 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! We're here to help you get back up and running.

I understand how inconvenient it must feel to have your Wi‑Fi disconnect whenever the screen auto‑locks, especially since you’ve already tried restarting to recover the connection. 

Thank you for sharing the details — let’s go through steps that can help stabilize the wireless connection on your Windows 11 desktop.

• Open Settings by pressing Windows + I.
   
• Go to “Network & Internet” > “Wi‑Fi.”
   
• Select your Wi‑Fi network, click “Forget,” then reconnect by entering the password again.
   
• In the same Wi‑Fi settings, ensure “Connect automatically” is enabled for your network.
   
• Press Windows + X, choose “Device Manager.”
   
• Expand “Network adapters,” right‑click your wireless adapter, and select “Properties.”
   
• Under the “Power Management” tab, uncheck “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.”
   
• Return to Device Manager, right‑click the adapter, and select “Update driver.” Choose “Search automatically for drivers.”
   
• Restart your computer and test by locking the screen to see if the Wi‑Fi remains connected.

For additional guidance, you can refer to HP’s official support page for wireless troubleshooting: HP PCs – Troubleshooting Wireless Network and Internet (Windows 11).

These steps should help prevent the Wi‑Fi from disconnecting when your desktop auto‑locks.
