Windows 10: Having issues with my wi-fi wireless adapter any help would be appreciated

Not really sure if I'm in the right place but I'm hoping someone can help...


I'm running windows 10 but for the last couple of months I've had to "reset my wireless network adapter" multiple times here lately I can work for maybe 5-10 minutes and than the wifi is out and I have to troubleshoot and its always "fixed" after the adapter has been reset. I don't have a issue with my tablet, my grandson uses his xbox and his laptop with no issues. I haven't made any changes I'm using the laptop in the same room. I've done a network reset that hasn't helped but I'm wondering if I need to purchase a new wireless adapter or someone said maybe uninstall and reinstall windows 10. This computer is only 2 years old. I need my computer to work any suggestions would really help!

Windows 10 Wi-Fi Adapter Issues after 17134.254 Update

Hi Denzel,

Since the issue on your Wi-Fi adapter started after installing the latest update, then this could be a driver-related concern. The current driver may not be compatible that's why your wireless connection keeps disconnecting. For us to sort this out, I suggest
updating the driver of the Wi-Fi adapter. Please follow these steps:

1. Right-click the Windows key and select Device Manager.
2. Expand the Network adapters category, right-click your Wi-Fi adapter, then click
   Update Driver.
3. Select Search automatically for updated driver software.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
5. You may also check the Wi-Fi manufacturer's website for its latest driver in case Windows didn't find a new driver.

If the issue persists, then you may opt to roll back it's driver.

1. Right-click the Windows key and select Device Manager.
2. Expand the Network adapters category, right-click your Wi-Fi adapter, then click
   Properties.
3. Click on the Driver tab, then click Roll Back Driver.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
5. Click OK once done.

If you continue to have this issue even after performing the above steps, please let me know by replying to this thread. The system will notify me so I can get back to you as soon as I can.

Regards.
