Laptop can't detect iphone hotspot in windows 11

[DMV_95]

My HP Notebook can't detect my iphone hotspot after I loaded Windows 11.  I've tried various suggestions from YouTube to no avail.  I don't see a WiFi network adapter under the device manager. Is that the issue?  If so, I tried to download a WiFi driver and I can't located it on my computer.
