26.04 Fresh Install WiFi Peekaboo

Decided to come back to the Linux fold on my personal PC, after the enshittification of Windows.

After a little browsing I landed on Kubuntu. Install all went fine, WiFi Showed up, no issues. After install I switched to the NVIDIA non-free driver, got sound up and running, all peachy.

Two to three reboots after initial setup, after making no changes my WiFi has disconnected, and apparently disappeared. Can anyone assist with troubleshooting please? I am terrible with network stuff.

Edit: Solved. Windows Fast Boot on another drive was stealing the WiFi card, so on rebooting to Linux, the OS couldn’t see it.
