New build, no wi-fi showing

[wtchdrm131902b9]

Just built a new desktop with a MSI Pro B650M-A Wifi motherboard and a Ryzen 5 7600X processor, AM5 socket. Everything worked on the first try, but cannot find Wi-Fi. During Windows 10 Pro install, it asked for Ethernet but Wi-Fi wasn't listed. After Windows install, Network setup screens don't show Wi-Fi option. How do I enable Wi-Fi ?

1. Please clear CMOS by shorting the JBAT jumper with screwdriver for 5-10 seconds(with PSU powered off and power cord unplugged) to check.
2. Make sure Wi-Fi module is well connected
3. You could update mainboard's BIOS to the latest 7D77v1P with BIOS M-Flash function:

PRO B650M-A WIFI

PRO series motherboards tuned for better performance by DDR5 memory with Memory Boost, Lightning Gen4 PCIe, Extended Heatsink, M.2 Shield Frozr, Wi-Fi 6E, 2.5G LAN, USB 3.2 Gen 2

Thanks, Zerijelly. Actually, I got the answer from a MSI chat employee, who suggested the the WiFi driver had failed to load properly. After re-loading the MSI and Windows 11 drivers, everything worked correctly and WiFi was on. Thanks again, Mark
