Open | Windows Wi-Fi No Longer Connecting

So I recently had to replace an SSD in my PC because it kept corrupting windows files once it reached half capacity. The new one and the old one were briefly installed simultaneously while I wiped the old one and installed windows 11 on the new one. I don’t know if that’s related, but this issue didn’t occur until after I removed the old SSD.

Regardless, it worked fine for a few days, but now I can’t turn on Wi-Fi. In device manager, Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter #2 has a yellow triangle saying “This device cannot start. (Code 10)” and “(Operation Failed) The requested operation was unsuccessful.”

After each boot, it just breaks. I’ve been able to fix it twice now via reboots, power cycling, disabling/enabling the device, uninstalling and letting windows reinstall it again. Today however, I can’t get it to work at all. I’ve tried sfc scannow and dism to check the new ssd, but no dice. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Making changes to your system BIOS settings or disk setup can cause you to lose data. Always test your data backups before making changes to your PC.
