HP Laptop PC 15s-fq2000 (2D120AV)
Microsoft Windows 11

I have an HP Laptop 15 dy2073dx (I don't know why HP says 15s-fq2000), and I have been having an issue with the WiFi card for a while (a few months after I got the laptop in 2023.)

 

The WiFi works fine on the laptop when it is connected, but when I disconnect from it or the WiFi drops, 80% of the time, the WiFi option disappears from the Quick Settings. Device Manager says the following:

This is fixed however, by a full computer restart. This is inconvenient though, because it happens a lot, and I do not want to have to reopen all of my apps all the time.

The only suggestion i can offer would be to update the Realtek 8821CE Wi-Fi driver to the latest version HP currently has:

 

2024.10.230.2

The 15 dy2073dx is a member of the entire 15s-fq2000 model series and basically share the same specs and design.

 

Several hundred different models as you can see from the link below.

Okay, I've installed the driver and it was updated. I'll see if the problem occurs again and get back to you.
