I've just been handed a user's Dell XPS12 with this issue. Adapter not seen in Network Connections. Disabled by Windows, error 43. "The miniport has failed a power transition to operational power" in System Event Viewer.
Driver 16.8.0.6
Advanced Power Setting for On battery: Maximum Power Saving
Shutdown, unplug/plugin, boot -- did not resolve issue. Disable/enable adapter did return adapter to function.
He's had it for a couple of months, and apparently this is the first time it happened. So far from this thread, it's not clear whether best to upgrade driver, bios, or downgrade power saving, or combination thereof. Looking forward to your results/analysis joe_intel!
