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.

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

Just generic
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)
I downloaded the program, how do I find the right file in this mess?
Search for linux-headers or 5.11.0-43 and take a screenshot of it

Okay, just delete the first?
Full screen image would be better

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.
Do you have instructions for this and how exactly it is done ;
If you post the output of
sudo lshw -c network
I can probably give you a singular command. Otherwise, you would need to install dkms (sudo apt install dkms), then build the wifi driver from source. It depends on the driver and its availability.
