[SOLVED] Intel AX200 - Wifi not showing up - Multi-boot with Windows

As you've unfortunately experienced for yourself, Microsoft often interferes with WiFi and Bluetooth in Linux. Windows can also interfere with other hardware as well (but less commonly) in Linux.

There are several other tricks you can use if Windows is causing problems for your hardware in Linux. Often power saving settings in Windows can interfere with devices on your Linux install. To prevent this from happening it sometimes helps to disable power saving for the affected device in Windows. This can usually be done by altering the settings for the affected device in Windows Device Manager. In the devices "Advanced" properties tab look for any power saving options and disable them. This can sometimes fix Windows interfering with hardware in Linux.

In some cases the only thing that will correct a device being disabled is to removed all sources of power from the computer and then reset the computers bios to the factory defaults.

Of course the best solution is to wipe Windows off your system and send it straight to hell (where it rightly
belongs).
