Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6E AX210 160MHz not starting

Askingway — Tue, 01 Feb 2022 17:04:21 GMT

I have a freshly build custom PC setup using the Mag X570S Tomahawk Max Wifi. Integrated in the Mainboards preinstalled devices is the Wi-fi Card mentioned in the Subject. After installing Windows 10 on the machine I notice the device hasnt properly started.

The Device Manager tells me the Device cannot be started.

I attached the SSU report to this and hope you can help me find a solution

I suggest that you try a clean reinstall of the Wireless drivers. Here is the proper process:

If you haven't already, download - but do not install just yet - the latest Bluetooth and WiFi drivers for your adapter. Here are the current links for downloading these drivers: Wireless: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/19351 and Bluetooth: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/18649
Disable Internet access. Unplug Ethernet cable and/or disable wireless. Keep disabled until told to re-enable.
From the Apps & Features applet, check for instances of Intel PROSet/Wireless Software and Intel Wireless Bluetooth. If none, skip to Step 6.
Uninstall each instance of Intel PROSet/Wireless Software and Intel Wireless Bluetooth that is present. When prompted, choose to "Discard Settings".
Manually reboot your computer, keeping Internet access disabled throughout.
From the Device Manager applet, check the Network Adapters section for an entry for Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX210 and check the Bluetooth section for an entry for Intel Wireless Bluetooth that has an intel driver associated with it. If neither is the case, go to Step 10.
Right click on the entry for Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX210 and uninstall it, choosing to (checkmark) Delete the driver software for this device.
Right click on the entry for Intel Wireless Bluetooth and open its properties. If it has an Intel driver associated with it, then uninstall it, choosing to (checkmark) Delete the driver software for this device.
Go to Step 5.
(Optional but recommended) Clean out all temporary files using the Windows Clean Disk tool. Ensure you have enabled cleaning of System Files. I recommend that you then checkmark all categories offered, even if no files currently in this category (so it leaves it set up for next invocation). (Optional but recommended) Clear each of your browsers' cache.
Install the Bluetooth driver package (my rule: always do Bluetooth first).
Install the Wireless driver package.
Manually shutdown and reboot your computer.
Enable Internet access.
Test.

Hope this helps,
