If you encounter a Blue Screen during the installation of Windows 11 displaying an error that mentions "netwtw10.sys", you'll need to set WiFi into a "fallback" mode.

**PLEASE NOTE: This should only be required if you created the Windows installer utilizing Rufus, Ventoy, or similar tools.** Installers created using Microsoft's Media Creation Tool are automatically detected by BIOS and should not require this workaround. 

While booting the laptop, enter BIOS by tapping F2. Select **Setup Utility**, then **Advanced**, and set WiFi Mode to "Fallback". Save the settings, exit BIOS, and reboot back into the Windows installer. After installing the [**Framework Laptop Driver Bundle for 13th Gen Intel Core**](https://knowledgebase.frame.work/en_us/framework-laptop-bios-and-driver-releases-13th-gen-intel-core-BkQBvKWr3), you'll get updated, compatible Intel WiFi drivers, and the installer will also automatically change the WiFi Mode back to the default.

**_The root cause of this issue is that the default Windows 11 image has an outdated version of Intel WiFi drivers._**
