Windows 10: WiFi disconnects, must close and reopen laptop to reconnect

Hey everyone,

I'm a college kid who has been having major issues with my laptop, I'm desperate for some help.

The problems:
My Wifi cuts out at random, and after that my laptop won't reconnect- or connect to any wifi- until I either close the lid, wait for the green light to go off, then reopen, or I restart. This always temporarily fixes the problem. (This actually happened when I first tried to submit this post, so I have to retype the whole thing *Sad. This happens within anywhere from 10 minutes to a few hours from when I reconnect to wifi, and it seems to be somewhat correlated to me opening new tabs (or submitting a new post *Mad). I don't use my laptop for anything other than casual browsing and school work, so I don't have any weird programs that might cause this. No single event started this, but it's been happening for months. I'd really appreciate any help.

My system info:
OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 HomeVersion 10.0.14393 Build 14393Other OS Description Not AvailableOS Manufacturer Microsoft CorporationSystem Name DESKTOP-8UUH9ORSystem Manufacturer ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.System Model X751LABSystem Type x64-based PCSystem SKU ASUS-NotebookSKUProcessor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-5200U CPU @ 2.20GHz, 2197 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)BIOS Version/Date American Megatrends Inc.

Let me know if I need to provide any more information, preferably tell me how to provide that, too (complete computer noob).

Thank you all so much, I'd be so grateful for any help.

My Laptop Lags Unbelievably When Charging Via Ac Adapter

I have a new update that might help...Maybe! When I start up the computer connected to the AC adapter, games will run fine until you disconnect and reconnect the ac adapter - then they start to lag again. BUT, when I have the ac adapter
plugged in, And I close and reopen my laptop, the lag disappears until you dis, and reconnect the AC.

So basically every time I want to play games on AC I have to close and open my computer and the lag vanishes

 

Intermittent WiFi Connection v2

"I've begun to notice that my Wi-Fi is randomly disconnecting. It isn't a problem with the router, as this happens with more than one router. The difference with my problem and others is that I cannot
reconnect, I need to shut down my laptop and turn it back on again. But even after I do that, it will continue disconnecting every now and then. Just the other day I was trying to watch a movie on Netflix and it disconnected at least 4 times. Can anyone help?"

I have the same problem and the only offered solution was to go to

Device Manger-Network Adapters

right click on your wifi adapter driver

click Properties

look for Power Management Tab

uncheck "allow computer to turn off this device to save power"

I did this ages ago, now my computer still randomly drops the connection and also does not reconnect until I have logged back in after closing my laptop lid and reopening it unless I manually click on the Wifi I want, this is despite connect automatically
being on.

Welcome to the forum. Is this at college or home?

 

Thanks! Both places, unfortunately it happens everywhere I go. I forgot to mention that I also went to Device Manager and disabled the option to disable network drivers for battery saving purposes- as I had read that might solve my problem.

Pardon the terrible formatting, if necessary I can just screenshot them and post.

 

It should come out formated correct am struggling with it as it is

 

right click on start select cmd prompt admin then type

netsh advfirewall reset
netsh winsock reset
netsh int ipv4 reset
set same as win7 to opendns

You should change channel on the router as others are close with same channel and strenght

 

I don't know if the last two completed like intended, here's a paste of them (the first two said OK). As far as the router, I'm currently on my school's wifi so I can't change anything.
C:\WINDOWS\system32>netsh int ipv4 reset
Resetting Global, OK!
Resetting Interface, OK!
Resetting Unicast Address, OK!
Resetting Neighbor, OK!
Resetting Path, OK!
Resetting , failed.
Access is denied.


Resetting , OK!
Restart the computer to complete this action.




C:\WINDOWS\system32>set same as win7 to opendns
Environment variable same as win7 to opendns not defined

 

Just to add some info, when I try to open a new tab in Chrome it often says "not responding" then the wifi will shut off, forcing me to close and reopen my laptop. Really desperate for help!

 

Hey guys, still no luck =(. Any new suggestions would be great!
