Hi @Yashveer2,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

If your HP PC’s network adapter sometimes fails to work properly at startup and shows a message like “Reinstall the network adapter”, it’s likely due to a driver issue, power management setting, or hardware initialization delay. Here’s how to fix it:

1. Update or Reinstall the Network Adapter Driver

1. Press Win + X → Device Manager.
2. Expand Network adapters.
3. Right-click your Wi-Fi or Ethernet adapter → Update driver → Search automatically.
4. If that doesn’t help:
   • Right-click again → Uninstall device.
   • Restart your PC. Windows will reinstall the driver automatically.

2. Disable Power Saving for the Adapter

1. In Device Manager, right-click your network adapter → Properties.
2. Go to the Power Management tab.
3. Uncheck “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power”.
4. Click OK.

3. Run the Network Troubleshooter

• Go to Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters.
• Run the Network Adapter troubleshooter.

4. Check for Windows Updates

• Go to Settings > Windows Update.
• Install any pending updates, especially driver updates, under Optional Updates.

5. Reset Network Settings (if needed)

If the issue persists:

• Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Advanced network settings > Network reset.
• Click Reset now (this will remove and reinstall all network adapters).

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
