Interesting, i only see LAN.

Reboot and enter GRUB, change the kernel to an older one

uefi - press the escape key alot during boot
Legacy bios - press the shift key alot during boot

A general question, if I have dual boot as long as I update the drivers from one of the two operating systems , do they both read them? what I'm thinking is that not as long as they have two different storage spaces for each operating system.

Each os reads its own driver, if you update the driver in windows it is only readable in Windows. For linux it is the same.

From here it is meant to change kernel?

.40 (recovery mode) or .40-generic?

Just generic

#13

What the difference?

Worked!! Thank you.

But every time I update my system do I have to do that? Also on the next reboot this remains or every time should I choose it

No idea never done this before my self. If the newer kernel kicks in again we can delete it. Download synaptic from the store and search for kernel headers (5.11.0-43)

#15

I downloaded the program, how do I find the right file in this mess?

#16

Search for linux-headers or 5.11.0-43 and take a screenshot of it

I am not behind my laptop...open terminal

sudo apt-get purge linux-image-5.11.0-43-generic

sudo apt-get purge linux-headers-5.11.0-43-generic

That should remove the newer kernel verion.

You can also use DKMS to avoid having to reinstall Wifi Drivers or the Kernel with each update.
