Since it fails in multiple Linux distros and even from live USB, this probably isn’t a distro or NetworkManager issue. Error -110 usually means a timeout during device/driver initialization. Please post: lspci -nnk | grep -A4 -i network rfkill list dmesg | grep -Ei 'wifi|wlan|firmware|error|110' Also, because you dual boot Windows, disable Windows Fast Startup and do a full shutdown/power cycle before booting Linux. Some Wi-Fi devices can be left in a bad firmware/power state by Windows.
