WiFi not working after Windows Update

Hi,

 

My WiFi has stopped working after I updated my Windows to Windows 11 25H2 and put a new batter inside my Razer Blade 15 computer.

I get this error on the network adapter Intel(R) WiFi- 6 AX201 160Mz:

 "This device cannot start. (Code 10) {Operation Failed} The requested operation was unsuccessful.”

I can’t run Troubleshooter on Windows since I have no internet. I had this same problem a few days ago, and then I fixed it by temporaily by downloading latest Intel drivers for that WiFi adapter from their website and installed it. But today a few days later when I boot up my computer, the problem seems to persistent and I have no working network adapter on it..

 

My specs on the computer are:
Razer Blade 15 Advanced 2020 model with model number: RZ09-03305N53
Windows 11 Pro 25h2 (installed o n2026-09-16 so latest Windows updates on it)

OS build: 26200.9457

 

Hoping to get some help on it to resolve this issue.

Download the latest wifi drivers from intel.

Then I’d remove the wifi completely from device manager (check the box to also remove drivers) → reboot → install your drivers.

There’s a tool from Microsoft that allows you to hide some update from windows update: https://download.microsoft.com/download/f/2/2/f22d5fdb-59cd-4275-8c95-1be17bf70b21/wushowhide.diagcab - run it and you should block the intel wifi driver update on win upd (ofc if it’s visible there). Sometimes Windows update is installing some problematic drivers.
