Troubleshooting so far...

 

Dism  = Check

sfc /scannow = Check

Drivers/BIOS updated = Check

Windows Updates = Check

 

Bunch of threads on this error but all dead ends. Some say its tied to faulty wifi card, but I can't find any evidence of it being plugged into that particular port. Other answers include wipe/reload, unlikely, but possible faulty mobo and disabling power management for the PCI Express link and wifi card. None of these answers helped. MS answers site is the cookie cutter "Perform Clean boot, Updates Drivers/BIOS" BS. 

 

Basically just throwing this out there to see if this is a thing for others. The only problem I've had with this PC is sometimes I have random, infrequent wifi disconnects, which I chalk up to junk Qualcomm wifi card. Not really feeling like swapping parts, so hoping its Windows related garbage.

After Posting, a little lightbulb went off in my brain. Disabled the offending root port, and mysteriously my wifi goes kaput. Crossing fingers that its just a bad wifi card. Now I gotta source one, dammit.

Finally got around to replacing the Qualcomm card with a Intel one. Problem resolved. No more WHEA crap in event log or random disconnects. Spent more time fighting Dell's infernal battery/cover retention system while reassembling than changing the card itself. Also Dell secures the the card with a adhesive pad, which was a pain cause I didn't know why it was stuck in place like it was.

WOW! Just so happens I was F***ing with this exact issue on a customer's inspiron 5566 laptop last night. Their QUALCOMM wireless N card was throwing that exact message on an intel PCI express root hub. I replaced the card with a spare Intel AC wifi card I had in my parts box, and the error went away.

 

I was having troubles getting the wifi to work, it was not getting an IP. When it came in my office it was running 1903 and I installed 21h2. I also had to backup 320GB Of photos ..of which she had no backups ...*Face palm*.

Glad I could offer something helpful

 

I dread working on anything hardware-related in laptops.
