Windows 10: when I run the troubleshooter on my pc it resets the wireless network adapter, and then...

also I know that its the laptop's issue as all the other devices are working fine. This problem just randomly occurred with no prior connection issues with this laptop in this network for years.

Resetting Network Adapter

While I have read several suggestions for resetting the network adapter, they all involve rebooting the PC. I am wondering why the Windows Network and Internet troubleshooter doesn't reboot after resetting the adapter? Whatever it does appears (mostly) to solve my network connection issues and a solution that doean't involve rebooting would be an improvement.
