Windows 10 Wi-Fi Adapter Issues after 17134.254 Update

Hi Denzel,

Since the issue on your Wi-Fi adapter started after installing the latest update, then this could be a driver-related concern. The current driver may not be compatible that's why your wireless connection keeps disconnecting. For us to sort this out, I suggest
updating the driver of the Wi-Fi adapter. Please follow these steps:

1. Right-click the Windows key and select Device Manager.
2. Expand the Network adapters category, right-click your Wi-Fi adapter, then click
   Update Driver.
3. Select Search automatically for updated driver software.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
5. You may also check the Wi-Fi manufacturer's website for its latest driver in case Windows didn't find a new driver.

If the issue persists, then you may opt to roll back it's driver.

1. Right-click the Windows key and select Device Manager.
2. Expand the Network adapters category, right-click your Wi-Fi adapter, then click
   Properties.
3. Click on the Driver tab, then click Roll Back Driver.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
5. Click OK once done.

If you continue to have this issue even after performing the above steps, please let me know by replying to this thread. The system will notify me so I can get back to you as soon as I can.

Regards.
