Windows 10: Constantly need to reset network adapter

This has been going on for about a month now: occasionally (usually every few days) Windows will tell me I have no internet, and when I troubleshoot it it'll reset the adapter and everything is fine again for a few days. Tonight, it's happened about 6 times in the last two hours.



I've searched everywhere for a solution and tried everything suggested. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the adapter, I've downloaded the software/driver package for it, I've turned off the new power-saving option in device manager, everything. I'm not what to try next. I don't know if this is some bug that's fixable, if the card is dying, etc. Any tips would be great!



It's a Killer E2200 adapter.

Constantly need to reset wireless network adapter

So, within the past 2 weeks my Lenovo laptop has developed a case of constantly needing to reset the wi-fi adapter. I've searched various help forums and have already:

• Confirmed my drivers are up to date
• Changed my power management settings
• Confirmed my wi-fi
  autoconfig service is set to automatic
• Experienced this problem on multiple networks

Nevertheless, I still am dropping off the network, any network, every few minutes.

What's next in the Fix It universe?
