Hi
I'm running a Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-10885H CPU @ 2.40GHz in a new HP Envy on Windows 10 and all has been good until recently.
Without any warning (or system changes) I noticed my Bluetooth would not recognise my wireless keyboard but after a system restore all was good with the keyboard although the laptop couldn't see any new Bluetooth Devices. Then I noticed the laptop WIFI speed was 10% of capacity while all my other devices were running at 90-100% speeds.
After number of failed attempts to rectify, I went for the system restore again, only yo have a message say there was no restore points saved? Strange as I'd had done a restore only a few days before.
Looking at my updates there have only been two recently....
Intel Software component 1.63.1155.1 and Intel Software Component 1.41.2021.121 .
On further investigation it was suggested I carry out a clean installation of the drivers.
So today I tried to remove the drivers but without success as it would seem that even though I'm disconnected from the internet the Windows OS reinstalls the drivers on start up. I believe this is known as an 'inbox driver'?
On the Intel support website it suggest to install the latest drivers, which I downloaded from the HP site. This resulted in an improvement in download speeds from the 10% capacity to 56%, but so still some way off ideal.
Is there anything else I could try to get this fabulous bit of kit running as it should?
Thanks

Hi
I had to install off line without deleting the old drivers due to windows reinstalling the drives from an inbox, which I did while being off line.
Upon reboot the wifi speed initially returned to 100% capacity. But unfortunately on subsequent tests dome immediately after each other the speeds fell back to 50% and then 10%.
I am wondering if installing Windows 11 would help?
Thank you for your continued support with this. It's very much appreciated.
