When starting after sleep Marvell AVASTAR Wireless-AC Network Controller always has an error and therefore I have to disabled it and the enabled it to restart the WiFi connection. I do not want to leave network controllers on during sleep. This started happening after the June 2nd update. Please fix at your end and reissue the update. I do not really want to have to disable and reenable the controller every time. Thank you.

    I've updated the script provided by Thibaut to hopefully make it a bit easier for non-technical folks to use (Thanks Thibaut for the original!).

    The script is here: https://github.com/stu-bell/powershell-snippets/blob/main/scripts/Restart-Driver.ps1Save the script to a file (download button in the top right of the GitHub page).

    The easiest way to run the script is to create a shortcut to it. Instructions to do that are here:

    https://github.com/stu-bell/powershell-snippets/blob/main/run-from-shortcut.md

    Once you've downloaded the script and created the shortcut correctly, double clicking the shortcut should run the script to disable and re-enable the driver. You may be prompted to enter your administrator password.

    Same problem here, and not really a solution.

    I have a Surface Book 2, on Windows 10, driver version 15.68.17022.122, no problem at all with the Marvell adapter.

    I tried an upgrade to Windows 11 (a full clean installation, actually), and my problems began: each time I go out of sleep, the Marvell adapter does not work, and needs to be disabled, and then re-enabled in device manager. I tried several driver versions, no change.

    As this is a real pain, I downgraded (again full clean installation) to Windows 10, and the problem is gone (well, the Marvell adapter problem, not the discontinued support of Windows 10).

    I have the same issues with my Surface Pro 6 running Windows 11Home 24H2. I have reinstalled Windows which has made no difference.

    I am also seeing two additional issues with drivers - an errorr with

    • Skizze pen.2 drivers showing errors: Code 28
    • Surface Serial Hub driver Code 10

    Disab;ling these drivers does not help as they just reappear with errors
