Wifi Does not connect after booting

Hi,
I recently switched from Windows 10 to Manjaro Gnome. I still have Windows 10 as dual boot for my work-related stuff that i could not do in Majaro. However, in the last couple of weeks whenever I boot to Windows 10, my Wifi stops working for a couple of restarts and it starts again.

I’m not sure if they are co-related with each other or not. But whenever WiFi is not connected, the WiFi menu option from Setting is also missing. (Guessing it could not detect wifi module)

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Following is the output of inxi

Welcome at the forum, @Humble :tada:

When you wish someone helping you you need to provide useful information about your setup, otherwise we only can look into our :crystal_ball: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Thank you @Wollie.
I am sorry I updated the question with inxi output.

Does the issue appear in Windoze or Manjaro?

What do you mean with “not connected” exactly?

It happens In Manjaro. In Windows it works fine.

Manjaro does not detect WiFi Module, and WiFi option is missing from the Settings

Have you switched off Fast startup in Windows?

Just go into Settings > Power & Sleep > Choose what power button does > Shut down setting > uncheck the Turn on fast startup > save change.

Oh I did not. I’ll try doing it and see if issue persists. Thanks :slight_smile:
