Hi @Kali786,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

Wi-Fi adapter issues on HP notebooks can be caused by driver problems, power settings, or hardware faults. Here’s a structured way to fix it:

1. Check Wireless Switch & Airplane Mode

• Ensure Wi-Fi is enabled (Fn + Wireless key or physical switch).
• Turn off Airplane Mode in Windows settings.

2. Update or Reinstall Wi-Fi Driver

• Open Device Manager → Network adapters.
• Right-click your Wi-Fi adapter → Update driver.
• If that doesn’t help: 
  • Select Uninstall device, restart your PC, and let Windows reinstall it.
• For best results, download the latest driver from HP Support for your notebook model.

3. Reset Network Settings

• Go to Settings → Network & Internet → Advanced network settings → Network reset.
• Restart your PC after the reset.

4. Check Power Management

• In Device Manager → Wi-Fi adapter → Properties → Power Management.
• Uncheck Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.

5. Run HP Diagnostics

• Restart your PC and press F2 to open HP PC Hardware Diagnostics.
• Run the Wireless Network Test.

6. Update BIOS & Windows

• Use HP Support Assistant to install BIOS updates.
• Ensure Windows is fully updated.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have an amazing day!
