My simple solution after trying all of the above was a matter of Authentication Mode. Setting the adapter (although capable) to WPA3 allows it to connect, but not automatically after a Restart, Sleep, or Hibernate, and requires manual intervention. My router is set to both WPA2 and WPA3 security. After switching the wireless adapter to WPA2 Personal, the WiFi connects automatically again.
Check your authentication mode to see if the adapter is compatible with your router.
