Wait, if the original posters' post that's from 2025 said that HP said they would release a softpaq "in the near future", how does this driver released in 2024 solve it? lol

Are we still waiting for the softpaq or was that it? So far I have not heard anything from HP regarding this DMA crashing issue.

 

Also, your link doesn't work anymore.

According to the Microsoft Update Catalog website, the latest driver for the RTL8852-VS is 6001.15.156.0, so give that one a try.

 

You want the first file on the list.  It is good for W10 or W11 even though the info just indicates W11.

 

Microsoft Update Catalog

 

Since this file is a cabinet file and there is no executable, you will have to manually install the driver.

 

The first thing you need to do is to download and install the free 7-Zip file utility so you can unzip the cabinet file into a driver folder you can work with. 

 

You want the first file listed on the link below:

 

7-Zip

 

After you install 7-Zip, right click on the cabinet file you saved from the Windows Update Catalog site.

 

Have 7-Zip Extract to:  and let it extract the file into that long folder name.

 

After that is done, go to the device manager.

 

Click on the Reatek Wi-Fi adapter.

 

Click on the driver tab.  Click on Update driver.

 

Select the 'Browse my computer for drivers' option and browse to the driver folder that 7-Zip created.

 

Make sure that the Include subfolders box is checked and the driver should install.

 

The reason I have sent you to the Windows site, is because for some reason, HP has removed all of the Realtek Wi-Fi drivers from almost every PC's support page.

 

I do not work for or represent HP.

 

That is all the info I can provide.
