It's so ironic. Over the last few decades you could find millions of examples of the opposite question being asked.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Update the drivers on windows and see if the latest version supports it
Or
Install WSL or a VM and pass the device through to linux, let the kernel find it and activate the drivers, configure the network, then set up routes to share that connection with the host.
This, pass through to VM and share with host
Run windows as a vm on your Linux machine.
For some the only way this would work for many games would be having a dedicated second GPU for passthrough to the VM.
OP is asking for school/work purposes.
This
As a workaround which does not solve your specific question, and assuming you have control over the WiFi network and the router would have to support it — set one network band on WPA3, and a different network band on WPA2. Then in Linux, connect to the WPA3 band and on windows connect to the WPA2 band.
May I ask what school work requires the use of Windows? Adobe creative cloud or something?
If it's a case of needing ad-hoc WiFi from Windows, an Android phone tethered over USB will act as a WiFi adapter of sorts.
I feel like this is a weird place to put this. However, since you asked, why can't you run Windows in a VM?
Are the Wi-Fi drivers on windows up to date?
what version of windows? what wireless adapter?
Unlikely. While in theory someone could create a compatibility layer, it would be quite a challenge, as obviously, kernel modules are very closely tied to the specific kernel. I did some web searches, and only found the same few dead projects (that didn't completely solve this issue anyway) that you found, and other forum posts that offer little encouragement.
Make sure you have the latest version of Windows 10 or 11, and the latest drivers for your network hardware. If you do, then there's probably not much you can do about this.
Can you downgrade the network to older standard?
It would seem that there isn't easy way to do it on windows. You would need to RE and write the drivers yourself.
