Windows 10: Loosing wireless connection and speed very low after last update.

After last update, my wireless internet connection became intermittent and my download speed went from 25-30 MB to 1 MB and less. I have tried Windows Troubleshooter, installing latest driver, updating driver, etc. nothing helps except plugging in an external USB wireless adapter - this corrects both problems.
