Windows 10: Random network dropout

This has not happened in a long time. But on this computer and the one I had before it Both on Windows 11, the internet connection would constantly drop. Not a signal issue. It would just drop. I did all the usual reset tasks , updated drivers, all of that. Was working just fine after a certain period.Today I just lost the connection. The Wifi adapter was still running, but it couldn't view any of the networks. It was as if no networks existed even though I'm right next to the router. My phone was working just fine. This happened once before not recently. I did a few refresh tasks in the com

Random BSOD while browsing internet


BitDefender is nothing special. mwac.sys causes BSODs anywhere.
A tiny documentation can be found here: Solved Random BSODs - Windows 10 Forums
In that very thread, the suggested action apparently worked.

The storage and network filters of any third party antivirus can cause BSODs. Neither MBAM nor BitDefender is any special. For a regular antivirus, it may be shifted to an alternative; but MBAM has no alternative. So a clean install of the said program is the most feasible first step.
As far as the first step is not failing, it is better to not think for the second step. Because the BSODs are not universal, failure at the first step is not universal; and success at the second step is also not universal.
That is why I posted that my suggestion may work, or may not. Let us see where it goes.

Hi Adam,

In order to get clarity on this issue and assist you with appropriate troubleshooting steps, please reply with the answers to the questions below.

1. Have you tried using Ethernet cable and checked if you are facing the same issue?
2. What is the make and model number of your computer?

Please make sure to download and install the correct drivers by choosing the
V1 or V2 from the drop-down list below Please choose hardware version from
Download for Archer T2UH V2.

Also, I would suggest you to check if any latest firmware update is available for the router and your computer BIOS is up-to-date. If the BIOS is outdated, then I would suggest you to get in touch with the computer manufacture and update the BIOS to the
latest version.

Note: Modifying BIOS/ complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the configuring
of BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Modifications of the settings are at your own risk.

Try the below methods and check if this helps.

Method 1: Safe Mode With Networking.

Boot your computer in Safe Mode With Networking and check if you are facing the same issue.

Method 2: Internet Connection Reset.

Step 1: Click on the Start Menu > Search for
Command Prompt > Right-click on Command Prompt >
Run As Administrator > Type the following commands into the Command Prompt one-by-one and hit
Enter.

• netsh winsock reset
• netsh int ip reset
• ipconfig /release
• ipconfig /renew
• ipconfig /flushdns

Step 2: Restart the computer once after executing the above commands and check for the issue.

Method 3: Complete Network Reset.

Step 1: Go to Settings >
Network & Internet > Status > Network reset.

Step 2: On the Network reset screen, click Reset now >
Yes to confirm > Restart the computer once and check for the issue.

Give it a shot and let us know of any changes.

Hope it helps.
