Hi and welcome.

When I visit your link it says video uploading.

Please open a terminal and copy and paste the following command by clicking on the clipboard icon to the right of the command, then in terminal, right-click and paste:

sudo lspci | grep -i wireless

and post back the results.

Welcome to the Forum!

  • Are Secure Boot and Fast Boot in BIOS disabled?
  • If Windows is installed: Is Fast Start-Up in Windows disabled?
  • Does You System run in Wayland or X11? You can check that with the Terminal Command echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE and when it should run in Wayland, I would suggest to try it with switching to X11/Xorg. To do that, go to the Login Screen. Click on Your Profile so that the Password Field appears. When it is appeared, You should see a Gear Icon in the bottom right Corner. Click on it and choose ''Zorin Desktop on Xorg'' and then log in.
  • Could You post the Output of sudo lshw -C network and rfkill list please?

You mean these?

Also not sure what those sessions are

I’m new to zorin instead of making posts back to back is it possible to message you? As I have more issues other than this

Also as for the video is it me or isn’t this some kind of lag when switching to dark/light mode

I would see it; it switches from light to dark entirely. Maybe not in the most visual aesthetic Way but it looks normal for me.

Then You can open for this a new Thread here when You have more Issues. that is no Problem. And when it is public, it can be seen by more People and then can offer Help and Advice.

What I now have seen from Your Pictures:

  • Your System runs in X11. So, that is okay. Wayland and X11/Xorg are Display Protocols. Wayland is a newer Standard but can have/cause some Issues. X11/Xorg is older but a bit more reliable. Short answer.
  • Secure Boot and Fast Boot in BIOS are disabled. that is fine, to
  • But Fast Start-Up in Windows is enabled:
