In the meantime I have tested the suggested work around: The Intel site has a newer driver 21.90.3 issued in May this year, but I am inclined to wait for a new driver via Windows Update particularly as the article advises against installing a non Windows Update driver. However, in my case the problems have only become apparent recently (last month or so). I checked the date of driver 21.40.1.3 installed on my SP7, and it is dated May 2019. So, I found an alternative by going to All Settings / Network and Internet / Wi-Fi and turning off the Wi-Fi, waiting a couple of seconds and turning it back on.Īlthough turning the Wi-Fi off then back on worked, I was curious to find a better answer and this article on the Windows Central site has another explanation.Īccording to this article, it is a driver issue with the Intel AX201 Wi-Fi adaptor – driver version 21.40.1.3 – and hopefully it will be fixed soon. However, the “Power Management” tab is no longer there. At first I thought that I would go to Network and Sharing Centre / Change Adaptor Settings / WiFi adaptor / properties / Power Management and turn off “ Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power”. However, after I realised that it was an on-going issue, I looked for a better remedy. Initially, I ran Troubleshoot Problems (right mouse on the icon) and this fixed the problem. The “no Internet” icon appears in the Task Bar when the SP7 is woken from sleep. (Although the current driver is over a year old and the ‘Wi-Fi drop out after sleep’ has only been a recent occurrence for me.)Īfter the SP7 has gone into sleep mode, the Wi-Fi fails to re-connect when the computer is activated. Keep us posted with the status of the issue to help you further.This is a problem that I have only noticed recently and, as detailed later, it might be caused by a driver for the Wi Fi network Adaptor. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.Ĭlick the Power Management tab, clear theĪllow the computer to turn off this device to save power check box, and then click
Right-click the Connection and then click In the search box, type adapter, and then, under Network and Sharing Center, click You can try turning off the power-saving option in the network adapter's properties. Method 2 : Windows might be turning off your network adapter to save power. Right click on the driver and click on Update driver Software. Select the driver from the list by extending Network adapter. Press Windows + R to open Run command dialog box. Let us try the following steps, and check if it helps. T his may occur due to outdated drivers or incorrect network settings. I understand that after going to sleep mode, your Windows 10 computer disconnects Wi-Fi automatically. Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.
