    Hi guys
    Ive tried searching the forum for this problem, but I couldnt find any.
    So my problem is whenever I restart/shut down/sleep my laptop, the wifi cannot reconnect automatically, even though the network is saved, and detected in range. What I have to do is resetting the intel proset every time I want to reconnect, which is really annoying.

    The video to give an idea how my problem is.
    YouTube - wifi 6300 probelm

    driver version 13.5.0.6, ive untick the option to allow the computer to switch the card off.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    How about just not using the Intel applet and just let Windows manage the wireless connections? If anything it will narrow down the list of possible causes to this problem if not fix it.

    I've never used it but unless you have some tricky setup that requires it then why bother?

    Ive tried to use the windows setting. The problem is even worse, since I still cant reconnect automatically, I have to disable and re-enable the wireless adapter for several time. While if im using intel proset what I have to do is just reset the thing.

    ok for those who might have the same problem.
    I accidentally fixed this problem, but it might sound super stupid.
    I updated my graphics card driver, and the wifi is now reconnecting automatically. Really funny but thats really the solution.
