Windows 10: Network Adapters do not work when Windows is started

Every time the laptop is started , no network adapter is loaded. The task bar shows a LAN network icon with an exclamation mark even if no cable is connected. Wi-fi is not available and cannot be even seen in settings.

I then click on restart, laptop is restarted and everything works just fine. I've tried to disable de Intel Dual Banda Wireless AC 7265 and enable back, but nothing changes. I tried to update all network adapter drivers and they are all updated.


I run out of possibilities here, every time i start the laptop, i have to re-start, so that i can connect it to any network (Lan or Wi-fi). How do I fix this problem?

:)
