WiFi driver ax201 not working after latest update

[MoHossam]

Hello, my laptop is a Dell G15 and after updating the Wi-Fi driver to WiFi-23.60.1-Driver64-Win10-Win11, the Wi-Fi Quick Setting disappeared and always had a yellow exclamation mark in the device manager, as shown in the screenshot. I tried many solutions, but they have not been solved yet, so please help.

Edit : I'm working at win 11

Edit: Windows is still setting up the class configuration for this device. (Code 56)

Thanks for the update,

Kindly check the attachment below, which has what you asked for.

Note : I solved the problem by restoring point recovery in Windows 11 as a temporary solution.

Hi Mohossam,

Thank you for the quick response.

After checking the logs and knowing of the fix that you discovered, it seems that your system maybe incompatible with the latest generic driver. There are times wherein our latest drivers maybe incompatible with a certain system setup, which is why we always recommend users to use Dell released wireless drivers because it contains modifications that conform to the customizations done by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) on your system.  

That being said, have you already tried doing a clean install of the driver on your system?

Looking forward to your reply.

Best Regards,

Hi Alfredo,
Thank you for your efforts to solve my problem,

No, I never try because I don't know how to make a clean install so, please tell me how, according to my device specification,
and please step by step, because I don't want any more problems with my laptop.

Best Regards,

Hi Mohossam,

We appreciate your prompt reply.

We have published an article that contains step by step instructions on how to do a clean install; you can find it on this page, Clean Installation of Wireless Drivers.

Please take note that it is better to use the latest wireless driver from your laptop manufacturer, Dell. You can ask them first for the link to the latest wireless driver for your laptop model and that would be better than clean installation of our generic wireless drivers.

We hope for your understanding regarding this.
