Windows 10: My pc is disconnecting from wifi particularly when running games. How do i fix this?

So i built my pc around 2 weeks ago and things have been running fine up until a couple days ago when whenever i launched a game my pc would disconnect from wifi whether the game was using it or not. This occurs and almost every game but there are a few it doesn't happen on. As well as this even when just browsing the internet it occasionally disconnects. This has never been a problem on any other device, i have quite fast internet, my windows is up to date and my wifi drivers for my adapter are up to date, please help!

• If you have an identical laptop try comparing the wifi and security settings of the one that does not disconnect with the one that does. If you find any differences change the settings of the one that does not work to the one that does.

• If you do not have an identical laptop see this post and the three replies for possible solutions: Wifi disconnects every 5 minutes.

@Samuria : If you have any suggestions please reply.
