disable wpa_supplicant or generally any service explicitly waiting for a wlan0 device (and that isn't networkmanager) if you're using networkmanager (also iwd if you happen to start that concurrently but are actually intending to use networkmanager)

thank you it's worked with this command

systemctl disable --now dhcpcd@wlan0

Yes you generally don't want that, that's a logical conflict between networkmanager and dhcpcd and they would conflict were they running at the same time.

If you want us to check whether anything else is wrong in that regard post the output of

find /etc/systemd -type l -exec test -f {} \; -print | awk -F'/' '{ printf ("%-40s | %s\n", $(NF-0), $(NF-1)) }' | sort -f
