Windows 10: Windows wireless service is not running on this PC.

My Wi-Fi often disconnects and when I run the troubleshooter it says "Windows wireless service is not running on this PC" Or something like that. If I click try to fix these issues as an administrator, the troubleshooter fixes the issues, and later I have the same issue again. I get this problem at least once a day. Some days I get 5-6 times a day.
