Windows 11 WiFi keeps disconnecting randomly

My WiFi works fine on other devices but on Windows 11 it disconnects out of nowhere every few minutes. I have to reconnect manually every time. Super annoying when working or watching videos.

    Other wireless devices, physical obstructions, or poor router placement can interfere with your WiFi signal.

    I feel your pain on this one. You're in the middle of a training video or a work task, and suddenly the WiFi drops. Other devices are fine, so you know it's not your router or ISP.

    Try this:

    1. Open Device Manager.
    2. Locate WiFi driver, right click, select Properties.
    3. Go to Power Management tab.
    4. Uncheck 'Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power' option.
