Intel is launching a new wireless driver, focusing on adding support for Windows 11 systems. Since the new version of the driver is compatible with this new system that is still in the preview stage, there should be a better wireless connection experience after it is officially launched.
Intel has added support for the Windows 11 system in the previous update of the graphics driver, and now the company has verified and passed the wireless driver (WiFi and Bluetooth) again to add support for the new system. In addition, this driver update also fixes many BUGs and focuses on improving the audio quality performance in Microsoft Teams.
