Good idea to do the F2 diagnostics.  

The WiFi test passed.  So the module is fine.  It supports my original belief that it is all about the driver and windows update.  

By the way, I did network reset and it did not work.  In fact, it also stopped my LTE USB dongle from working.  Had to do HP recovery to undo that one.

Any thoughts?  How about the message in the event log?  Does that cause the code 56 error?
