Wi-Fi adapter Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6E AX211 160MHz - code 43 error

Hello,

I have a GIGABYTE G6X 9KG 2024 laptop (windows 11) and my wifi options have stopped working.

This issue first appeared a few weeks ago and I performed a network reset and it fixed it, but not this time.

I think the problem comes from the Wi-fi adapter Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6E AX211 160MHz as it appears in the device manager with an error code (code 43 "windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems", sometimes it also shows code 10 "this device cannot start").

I have tried disabling and re-enableing it.
I have tried de-installing and re-installing it from the gigabyte website (23.60.1.2 GIGABYTE WLAN driver).
I have updated BIOS from FD07 to FD13.
Bluetooth is still available and working.
Running "netsh wlan show drivers" in cmd shows " there is no wireless interface on the system".

How can I fix this ? Is this a driver issue or a hardware issue, or maybe something else ?

I cannot work on this computer without an ethernet cable for now.

Thank you in advance!

I had tried updating my drivers as the problem started, and there were no updates available but re-downloading the "Intel® Wireless Wi-Fi Drivers for Windows® 10 and Windows 11" seemed to have fixed the issue.

Thank you Marc !
