Ubuntu 22.04 wifi on half of the time

Most of the time when I power on my computer into Ubuntu 22.04, I have no wifi at all. As in, there is no wifi icon. I suspect it means that it fails to find the wifi hardware. When I restart the machine, the wifi icon is there and the system works as expected. This machine also has Windows 10 installed as dual boot. On windows, the wifi works no problem. How can I debug this problem?

The wifi card is a built-in card of my motherboard, MSI MPG Z690 Force Wifi. In the data sheet the build-in wifi card is called simply Intel® Wi-Fi 6E module, however, I could try to find its exact model if it is relevant.

Response of sudo lshw -C network is

`inxi -N` would help.

@chili555, thanks a lot. I can't tell for sure yet, but I could not reproduce the bug right now after removing fast boot. If you wish to post this as an answer I will accept. Also, are the two answers below ChatGPT bots? :D I have never seen something like this before

I strongly suspect they are AI bots. The "answers" are far from helpful which is why they are downvoted and nominated for deletion. My suggestion is, in my opinion, too trivial to be an answer but thanks for the offer.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
