Desktop Windows 11 machine turns off NIC when computer goes to sleep

Hey all,

Personal machine here, and I can’t figure out whats going on. My windows 11 machine turns off the nic when it goes to sleep, so when I go to use my pc, I have to wait about 30 secons while it wakes up.

I’ve tried all the basic fixes i’ve found online, like ensuring the nic can’t sleep, the drivers on the nic are up-to-date, and that my power management settings won’t put it to sleep, but nothing works.

Anyone else seen this in the wild and know how to fix it?

The BIOS can override OS settings. Also there are sometimes settings in the BIOS to hand over power management to the OS. Check NIC and power management/sleep settings in the BIOS.

I think that was it. Thanks!

No clue how that changed or why

Have you checked the settings in BIOS?
