Windows 10: Recent Update Messed with my Wireless Adapter

I recently installed the new Windows 10 update on Feb 5th. Everything was fine until I realized my computers Wireless Adapter started acting funky towards a very specific wifi connection. I use a Personal Hotspot off of an iPhone 6 to play games because our house wifi is subpar. Before the update it worked like a charm, after the update I have to either: reset the computer, update the driver(although it is already updated) and reset the computer, disable and reset the computer, or restart the phone. Even then it takes about 5 minutes for the computer to actually grab on to the connection and hold it, needless to say that anything that mildly overloads the connection just completely crashes it. Used to be able to download small 50mb updates on the hotspot, now anytime I try it slows it down to a Limited Connection then just drops the connection all together. Is there anything I can do on either the adapters or phones end? Or should I just consider getting another adapter when I upgrade my computers components?
