Wifi device can't be found after update

I updated Fedora 34 two days ago and since then I don’t have internet access anymore on my laptop.
When I type “wifi” on the terminam no device can be found.

Wifi is working on my Windows partition btw so the device should be working fine.

Please give us a bit more infos. inxi -Fzx in terminal would be a good start.
If not available you have to install inxi.

Don’t know what happened. After several restarts and connecting my phone to my laptop to make another update it seems to work again…

hey I am back and now I have the same problem. Similar to last time I used my Windows 10 partition before. Then I shutted my PC down and started Fedora after that again. Now I can’t find my Wifi device anymore and I am currently using my phone via USB tethering.

After using inxi -Fzx

but entering wifi in my terminal just claims there is now device

wifi      = none (no device)

Most probably your Wi-Fi driver is Rtl8821ce

I got the solution on Reddit:

It’s Windows all over again. I disabled Fast Boot in my BIOS settings but didn’t know it needs to be disabled on Windows 10 as well:
