Hi:

 

You need to go into the BIOS, and disable the LAN/WLAN switching setting.

 

If you have already done that, see if this works...

 

Go to the Windows control panel>system & security>administrative tools> services.


Stop the "HP LAN/WLAN/WWAN Switching UWP Service" and change the startup to manual.


Now both the WIFI and ETHERNET should work at the same time.
