Hey everyone, I already shared this question on the Mint forums, but so far none of the tips helped much. I figured I’d post it again here. https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p...7#p2506777 The problem is that it won’t use the saved password when reconnecting, yet turning off and back on works instantly—no issues detected. There’s a short video in the post above that explains the issue and includes all the fixes I’ve tried already. If anyone has any suggestions, it would be really appreciated! Thanks for taking the time to read.

Do you possess an additional Wi-Fi adapter? It seems to involve physical components...

Hey, sorry for the delayed response... I might have some wireless adapters nearby and will test them out, thanks. It seems to work perfectly in Windows 11 and an older version of PopOS (19.10). The issue appears only on Mint.

This appears to be a security concern rather than a hardware problem. You might want to remove the item and reinsert it, then check the connection options to ensure Connect Automatically and All Users are active.
