Windows 10: Slow to establish internet connection at start up.

I have noticed this problem just isolated in laptop to where booting up, connects to wifi but slow to establish internet connection. Once connected takes like 5 min or more, everything is set. My HTPC and desktop have wife adapters that's always on as it has its own power so once I boot up, connection is already established as the adapter is never off.


Just to be clear, this has nothing to with internet speed as speed is not the problem once connection is established.


Our mobile has no problem connecting as it instantly establishes internet connection once connected to the wifi.


My question is, it's already 2021 and why is this still a problem on windows platform? And no, all the laptop have current firmware on their built-in adapter. Why can't they have this like the mobile wifi adapter to where it just establishes connection instantly?


I have tried everything to where I just give up to fix this slow to establish connection.


TLDR: Mobile devices established connection instantly compared to laptop/desktop.


Maybe this thread will be something for a source of info to anyone that have this annoying problem.
