Hi, @Caos_cai1105
I don't believe that the RTL8852AE WIFI driver has been updated since mid-2024.
A look at the file contents of sp160182 shows that driver version 6001.15.158.600 is for the RTL8852BE Wi-Fi adapter.
I've zipped up and attached the setup information file below.
Below is the link to the latest Realtek Wi-Fi driver versions HP currently has for the Realtek Wi-Fi adapters:

RTL8723BE/RTL8188EE, version 2024.0.4.208 (EOL, with Windows 10 19H1 WHQL) RTL8822CE/RTL8822BE/RTL8821CE, version 2024.10.231.0
