[J_Pingk]

Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz giving error code 43 and refuses to work no matter what I try.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver multiple times, restarted the laptop gazillion times, updated Windows Update, upgraded to Windows 11, but I still keep getting this error.

Laptop is able to connect via USB tether and Ethernet.
