Windows 10: Network Randomly Disappears, Turns Off, Disables

Hi

I am on Windows Pro 10 x64 1903, although I have had this problem for a while.

Very randomly, my computer grinds to almost a halt. Network access stops, and then the Network System Tray symbol shows I have no network.

I have an on-board Killer E2200 (Mobo: GA-Z97X-Gaming 5). And always keep ALL drivers up-to-date.

Device Manager shows nothing wrong, and I am unable to disable/enable the Network Adaptor, as the computer just is pretty much unresponsive, although the keyboard and mouse work fine.

Task Manager does not open, the Start Menu can be unresponsive...

Network diagnostics fail, and all I can do it reboot.

What is the best way to track down what is causing this? Anything specific I can look into in Event Viewer, or and other tracing programs? (Like SnoopDOS on the Amiga *chuckle)

I am running ZoneAlarm Pro, but have tried disabling this etc, but cannot get the Network to restart. I have run Virus Checks and used System File Checker etc...

Any help/pointers... would be much appreciated

Regards

Demon.

disable 2.4ghz network

First, get the computer to forget your current network:

• Click the Network icon on the lower right corner of your screen.
• Click Network settings.
• Click Manage Wi-Fi settings.
• Under Manage known networks, click the network you want to delete.
• Click Forget. The wireless network profile is deleted.

Next, go into your router and either completely disable the 2.4GHz radio or set the 2.4 and the 5G radios to different SSIDs, maybe the 2.4 can be your guest Wifi...

Then, on your computer, only join the 5Ghz SSID network.

The suggestion in the post above to just disable the SSID broadcast of the 2.4Ghz radio will probably not work, your computer will still join it.
