Windows 10: Wi-fi connection lost every single time I put my PC in sleep mode

For the last few weeks, I’ve been experiencing an extremely frustrating issue with my PC where every time I put it in sleep mode, the wi-fi refuses to connect to anything when I boot it back up and the only way to get the wi-fi back is to either flush the DNS or reset the network settings, both of which involve restarting my PC afterward. Nothing else that I’ve tried works, and I’ve tried a LOT of other methods with this including messing with the wi-fi adapter and checking to see if it was a router issue. Yesterday, after having left my PC on after the most recent OS update for a few days in a row, I thought it’d be fine to put it in sleep mode for the night and did so. I immediately regretted it this morning when I turned it back on and the same issue that I’d hoped would be fixed by this latest update was now back staring me in the face.

I’m at my wit’s end with this problem. I’m so sick and tired of having to restart my PC every single time I take it out of sleep mode, meaning the only real way to ensure it always stays connected is to just never turn it off which obviously isn’t a long-term solution. Can someone here please help me fix this issue so that I don’t have to keep going through this over and over again??

EDIT: Running the latest version of Windows (10.0.19042) and all of my drivers are up to date

PC connection issue (Wi-Fi)

I have 2 PCs hooked up, both running Windows 10. My PC in the living room is connected directly to the cable modem and I am using a portable Wi-Fi adapter (Netgear Genie) for my PC in the bedroom. Everything was working fine until a few days ago when I lost my Wi-Fi signal in the bedroom. The Wi-Fi icon disappeared from the taskbar. So I thought it may be the adapter. So I moved the PC into the living room and connected it directly. Well....nothing. There is still no signal. The wi-fi in my house is still active because I'm able to use my cell phone and tablet. So...any suggestions? If what I wrote is unclear let me know. Thanks.

Wi-Fi Connection After Sleep Mode

When the computer wakens from sleep mode it connects to Wi-Fi, although "Settings" shows that "Connect automatically when in range" is off. I must turn the Wi-Fi connect off manually.
