Windows 10: Wireless Network Adapter experiencing problems

Hi, my first question!


So my battery storage capacity was very low so I tried a diagnostic startup from System Configuration. This essentially 'broke' my computer. I fixed everything except for the Wi-Fi. I troubleshooted and the wireless network adapter works, but it's 'experiencing some problems'. Please help!
