Wifi device missing in both arch and windows in daul boot

I am new to arch linux. I installed arch alongside windows 11 using archinstall script. In the arch install script I selected network manager to configure networks, and now using hyprland window manager. After some time of using suddenly when i boot into arch, it couldn't detect my wifi device. Not only in arch when I boot into windows wifi device was still missing. Installeing wifi driver in windows didn't solve the issue. I rebooted couple of times in both arch and windows, but I had no luck. I disabled hibernation and fast startup in windows. After turning off hibernation there is no option as fast startip in power settings. I's using Asus TUF A15 laptop.

Here's my lspci output

Re: Wifi device missing in both arch and windows in daul boot

No network controller in lspci. Did you change anything in the BIOS?
* Which laptop model?
* Anything in dmesg? Can you pass the output?

* Good formatted problem description will cause good and quick solution
* Please don't forget to mark as [SOLVED].

Re: Wifi device missing in both arch and windows in daul boot

If it's not showing up in lspci then its a low level hardware/firmware setting. Either your HW is dead or you have a physical killswitch on the laptop/a relevant setting in the UEFI

Re: Wifi device missing in both arch and windows in daul boot

when I boot into windows wifi device was still missing … I disabled hibernation and fast startup in windows. After turning off hibernation there is no option as fast startip in power settings.

3rd link below. Then reboot windows and linux twice for voodo reasons.

According to https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=c2eacfced7&log=lspci you're expecting a mediatek which which are kinda prone to this.
If rebooting both OS after disabling fast-start doesn't suffice, try to power the system down, remove and after some minutes return the battery.
