sigh Yeah, I'm just battling with the fact that Win11 just won't sleep anymore after I updated the wifi card to a new one. It *claims* to sleep in sleep study, but the power indicator doesn't go out, the disk activity doesn't stop and the battery trains in couple of hours.

It's infuriating.

Try booting in admin safe mode, looking in Device Manager, Show Hidden Devices, and manually uninstall the phantom old wifi device that's not really there any more.

No guarantees but that's what I would do before expecting great progress otherwise.

The theory is that Windows is lying awake at night wondering if their old familiar accomplice is going to ever be seen again or not ;)
