Windows 10: WiFi in Windows 10 keeps disabling itself

Hello,


I'm running Windows 10 Home on my laptop. The WiFi keeps disabling itself automatically. It won't even show the available connections. I have to go to the Device Manager, disable the driver and then re-enable the driver to get it working.


I ran sfc /scannow and it showed no errors. I even reinstalled my WiFi driver and even went as far as to resetting Windows.


Another point I would like to note is that, sometimes my computer just freezes when I try to disable the driver from Device Manager. Also, this has been happening since before the latest Windows update.


All my drivers are up-to-date. My Windows is also up-to-date.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

WiFi Adapter keeps disabling itself

My WiFi adapter keeps disabling itself. This started sometime in Nov 2016 or so with a new update. Before that, it worked fine.

I have done all the "suggestions", but none have worked. Any new ideas?

My mom's computer keeps losing internet as well (running Windows 10 also). I asked Uncle Google and maybe hers is a DNS issue, but why? I tried on her computer disabling the Wired Ethernet Card that some suggested, etc.

I am very annoyed. I really liked Windows 10 when it first came out, but it seems every time we get a new update, it breaks something else.
