    Network adapter disappears everytime I play online games


    This started when I tried to upgrade to Windows 11, I thought it was because of the windows 11 so I downgraded it back to windows 10 but the problem is still there. Whenever I try to play online games, after a few minutes it will disconnect because my network adapter is gone. I can't see the wifi anymore. I've tried a lot of things that fixes the missing network adapter like Unchecking 'Allow this computer to turn off this device to save power'Updating the driver to the latest available versionUninstalling the driver and restartingtyping 'netsh int ip reset' and 'netsh winsock reset' in cmd as

  3. Network adapter giving Code 43 then Code 10 randomly while playing games

    Hello

    Recently while playing games, my network adapter will suddenly stop working at random. Most of the time, it's 2-5mins into the game. I checked the device manager and found an error on the network adapter (Intel wireless 9560) which was Code 43. I did some
    fixes as suggested from different posts which are enabling/disabling, restarting, uninstalling and even updating. All those fixes then gave Code 10. So I did a system reset, where I still keep all my files but resets everything else. But to no avail, the problem
    still exists.

    However, there was this one time when I removed and uninstalled drivers of some peripherals, as one of the posts from a different site suggested, the network adapter did not have any problems while playing. This fix lasted but, after some time, the problem
    came once again. Now it's just Code 10 not Code 43 anymore.

    Oh and by the way, the problem occurs only while playing games. When I'm browsing the web or doing something else, the network adapter is fine. I'm using a laptop, ASUS TUF Gaming FX504GD.

    Did anyone else encounter this? Is there any permanent way to solve this problem?

    Thanks in advance!

  4. Network adapter disappears everytime I play online games

    Can’t connect to this network and list of networks disappeared.

    My gaming laptop was currently overheating when I play games so I decided to repaste it. After repasting, I was able to connect to the internert and everything was fine.

    After a few hours, the internet started showing some problems, I tried to restart the laptop but it keeps doing it, everytime I tried to connect to my internet, it says you can’t connect to this internet then after a few minutes, the list of networks disappeared.

    I tried several methods fixing this problem, I tried resetting network settins, and do the command promt, uninstalling the drivers or updating it. None of the methods work, but one thing sometimes it connects and sometimes it does not. It’s like a weird
    feeling that my laptop wants to connect to the internet but it doesn’t allow it.

    I also checked the wifi adapter and it’s connected and it’s working fine.0

    Please help me out with this problem
