Windows 10: Prevent sleep mode from turning off WiFi adapter?

Just within the last week or two, so I'm guessing that a Windows 10 update is the culprit, when my laptop goes into sleep mode, which it does dozens of times throughout the day as I travel from account to account, Windows is not turning off the WiFi adaptor. Thus, every time I wake up the computer I have to either manually turn the WiFi off and on to get it to reconnect, and sometimes have to run network diagnostics to reestablish my connection. I've researched keeping the WiFi connection live in sleep mode, but there is no longer a Power Management tab for my WiFi adapter in Device Manager/Properties, so the solutions I've found aren't available to me. My laptop was definitely not behaving this week for the first several months I've had it, so I suspect there was an update that both eliminated the Power Management function at the WiFi adapter level and forced the WiFi shutoff in sleep mode as the default. This has become a serious pain. Any suggestions?

Wifi adapter disappears after sleep

Thanks for replying.

@Spirit MS MVP - This is the reason wifi is disabled when the computer goes into sleep mode. When I untick the "Allow computer to turn off the device to save power" and place the computer into sleep mode, the wifi adapter disappears. If i recheck it, and
put the computer to sleep, the wifi adapter does not get uninstalled.

@Andre - First solution does not work because the adapter does not exist and is not listed in the Device Manager.

Second solution doesnt work because the adapter is not listed in Troubleshooting. I tried troubleshooting all adapters and nothing was returned.

Third solution again does not work because the adapter is not there to uninstall.

The wireless driver/adapter disappears after restarting from sleep mode when the adapter's ""Allow computer to turn off device to save power" setting is unchecked.

 

Turn off WiFi adapter


Is WiFi antenna turned off if I disable WiFi adapter in "Adapter settings"?
Why Airplane mode only disconnect WiFi from network, not disable them?

This thread is prematurely closed for replies. I have same problem as mentioned.

Windows 10: prevent sleep mode from disconnecting wifi when copying files?

Tried unticking "Allow the computer to turn off ......" in WiFi Adapter Power Management. But no effect. WiFi still drops when computer sleeps.

This was experienced with Win 10 1709 update. So the problem continues and is not closed.
