Re-Enabling Intel Wireless AC 9560 Adapter
While trying out methods to fix this issue, I experienced that re-enabling Intel Wireless AC 9560 adapter drivers often solves the problem. For this, you have to follow these steps:
- Open Run Dialogue: Press Win+R keys > Type or paste devmgmt.msc > Click OK.
Open Run Dialogue Box – Image Credit [Tech4Gamers] - Disable: Select Network adapters > Right-click on Intel(R) Wireless-AC 9560 > Click Disable device.

Now, connect to a wireless network if the issue is resolved.
WLAN AutoConfig Service
The WLAN AutoConfig Service analyzes your computer for Wireless adapter settings. If it detects any problems, it’ll automatically inform Windows so it can resolve the issue. I suggest you check if this service is enabled and change its Startup type to Automatic to enable it whenever you boot into Windows. To check it, follow these steps:
- Open Services: Press Win+R > Click on Run dialogue box > Type services.msc > Press Enter.

Clean Install Drivers
Removing old drivers and doing a fresh install of required drivers or updated ones can avoid conflicts, maximize compatibility, resolve hardware issues, and improve system performance. Intel Community also proposed this method, and it solved the Intel Wireless AC 9560 error smoothly. Follow the steps below:
Clean Install Wireless Adapter Driver
- Uninstall Wi-Fi Driver: Press the Win+X > Access Device Manager > Click on the Network Adapters category > Right-click on Intel(R) Wireless-AC 9560 > Select Uninstall > Choose: Delete the driver software for this device > Restart your PC.

Once this is done, your network adapter should work with the right drivers who may fix the Intel AC 9560 driver issue.
Clean Install Bluetooth Driver
It could be that your computer’s Bluetooth drivers are corrupt and are causing the issue with your Intel Wireless AC 9560 network adapter. If this is the case, you’ll also need a fresh setup. To do that, follow these steps:
-
- Uninstall Driver: Go to Device Manager > Right-click on the Bluetooth tab > Click Uninstall device > Restart your PC when it’s done.
- Install Driver: Download Bluetooth driver > Go to your downloads > Double-click on the step > Follow instructions.
Update Windows/Kernel
A bad Windows update can also cause the Intel Wireless AC 9560 not to work. If the error only occurred after a Windows update was installed on your PC, you should try reverting to a previous version of Windows and check if the issue is resolved. Microsoft also releases fixes for such issues in the following updates, so you can try updating your system to the latest version.
Additionally, updating Windows can also update Kernel, which users can’t manually update due to tight OS integration. Updating the Kernel fixes the error, and we found it a helpful solution for the Linux Community. Here is how you can do it:
- Open Settings: Connect your PC using a wired connection > Go to the start menu > Click the gear icon to open Windows Settings.
Settings icon in start menu – Image Credits [Tech4Gamers] - Choose Option: Go to Update & Security.
Update & Security in Windows Settings – Image Credits [Tech4Gamers] - Check Updates: Click on Check for updates.
Check for updates – Image Credits [Tech4Gamers] - Install Updates: If there are, click Install Now and wait for the update.
Once Windows is updated and your PC restarts, connect to a wireless network to see if the issue is resolved.
