Windows 10: wireless adapter disabled at start up

About 50% of the time, my wireless adapter, Qualcom Atheros 956x is disabled at Windows 10 start up. Rebooting clears the problem, but sometimes I have to reboot 2 or 3 times, I am currently running the latest update to Version 1803.


Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Windows Wireless Display Adapter-not connecting anymore

Hello Phillip,

Did you notice any changes on your PC prior to the issue? I suggest that you follow the steps outlined in this support article:
Troubleshooting Wireless Display Adapters.

Since updating drivers did not work, in addition, you can try to reset the Wireless Adapter.

1. On the adapter, press and hold the reset button for 10 seconds.
2. When the message " Ready to connect "shows, open the
   Action Center.
3. Select Connect, and in the list of displays, select
   Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter.
