Archiso Makes Wifi Card Stop Working / Not finding any networks

So i have windows 10 home on my computer right now but i wanted to change to arch

I downloaded the iso and flashed it onto a usb and booted it up, then i ran these to check for networks nearby:
iwctl station wlan0 scan
iwctl station wlan0 get-networks

And it didnt find any networks
"No networks available"

So i decided to boot back into windows 10 and i got the same issue there (no networks found)

After a lot of reboots and complete resets of windows i finally got the network card to show up networks nearby again, but as fast as i booted the archiso and nto windows 10 directly when i got the shell, the wi-fi couldnt find any networks nearby
So i had to redo the entire process of reseting everything to get my network back to work, also on windows and if i run ipconfig it says "media disconnected" on all cards.

Question on ms answers, with some pictures

So how would i make archiso not crash my network cards

Switch off Windows 'Fast Start'. That's probably what's causing the issue.

I tried it but it didnt work, but the biggest issue now is that i cant connect to wifi on the archiso cause it cant find any networks somehow.
Do you know how to fix this?
