Speed Up Microsoft Access Running Slow on Windows 11 (24H2) Upgraded Laptop with Intel AX211 Wi-Fi Chipset

Potential Causes of Slow Performance

There are several potential causes for slow performance when using Microsoft Access on a Windows 11 laptop with an Intel AX211 Wi-Fi chipset. Some of the most common causes include:

• Wi-Fi connectivity issues
• Outdated drivers
• Insufficient system resources
• Network latency

Wi-Fi Connectivity Issues

One of the most common causes of slow performance when using Microsoft Access on a Windows 11 laptop with an Intel AX211 Wi-Fi chipset is Wi-Fi connectivity issues. Here are some steps you can take to improve your Wi-Fi connection:

1. Restart your router and modem
2. Move closer to the router
3. Disable power-saving settings for Wi-Fi
4. Disable other Wi-Fi networks
5. Update your Wi-Fi driver

Outdated Drivers

Another common cause of slow performance when using Microsoft Access on a Windows 11 laptop with an Intel AX211 Wi-Fi chipset is outdated drivers. Here's how to update your drivers:

1. Press the Windows key + X and select Device Manager
2. Expand the Network adapters category
3. Right-click on Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201/AX210/AX411 160MHz and select Update driver
4. Select "Search automatically for updated driver software"

Insufficient System Resources

Insufficient system resources can also cause slow performance when using Microsoft Access on a Windows 11 laptop with an Intel AX211 Wi-Fi chipset. Here are some steps you can take to free up system resources:

1. Close unnecessary applications
2. Disable unnecessary startup programs
3. Add more RAM
4. Upgrade to a faster CPU

Network Latency

Network latency can also cause slow performance when using Microsoft Access on a Windows 11 laptop with an Intel AX211 Wi-Fi chipset. Here are some steps you can take to reduce network latency:

1. Check your internet speed
2. Use a wired connection instead of Wi-Fi
3. Contact your internet service provider

Code Example: Updating Wi-Fi Driver

 ' Update Wi-Fi driver using Windows Update
 Dim wshNetwork As Object, wshShell As Object, wshNetConnection As Object, strCommand As String
 Set wshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
 Set wshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
 Set wshNetConnection = wshNetwork.GetConnection("Local Area Connection")
 strCommand = "powershell.exe -Command ""& {Start-Process powershell.exe -ArgumentList '-Command ""& (Get-WmiObject Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration | Where-Object {$_.IPEnabled -eq $true} | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Name) -Wait -NoNewWindow; & {Start-Process powershell.exe -ArgumentList '-Command ""& (Get-WmiObject Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration | Where-Object {$_.IPEnabled -eq $true} | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Description) -Wait -NoNewWindow; & {Start-Process powershell.exe -ArgumentList '-Command ""& (Get-WmiObject Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration | Where-Object {$_.IPEnabled -eq $true} | Select-Object -ExpandProperty IPAddress) -Wait -NoNewWindow; & {Start-Process powershell.exe -ArgumentList '-Command ""& (Get-WmiObject Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration | Where-Object {$_.IPEnabled -eq $true} | Select-Object -ExpandProperty MACAddress) -Wait -NoNewWindow; Start-Sleep 5; netsh interface ipv4 show interface " & (Get-WmiObject Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration | Where-Object {$_.IPEnabled -eq $true} | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Name) & " interface ipv4 show interfaces ipv6 show interfaces" -PassThru | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Output | Out-File C:\Temp\NetworkInfo.txt; Start-Sleep 5; Start-Process notepad.exe C:\Temp\NetworkInfo.txt}"
 wshShell.Run strCommand, 0, False
 Set wshNetConnection = Nothing
 Set wshShell = Nothing
 Set wshNetwork = Nothing
 

In conclusion, slow performance when using Microsoft Access on a Windows 11 laptop with an Intel AX211 Wi-Fi chipset can be caused by Wi-Fi connectivity issues, outdated drivers, insufficient system resources, or network latency. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can improve your Wi-Fi connection, update your drivers, free up system resources, and reduce network latency to help speed up Microsoft Access on your Windows 11 laptop.
