Shotty Internet on Windows 10
A little background: I have researched this topic many times to find a solution to no avail because they either never offered a working solution in the thread before it died out, or their issues were antivirus related which I know my problem is either hardware or software, but research tells me its software and windows 10.
My PC: HP m7-k211dx with Intel AC-7260
The problem: My internet on my laptop stops working after random times of use, sometimes it works for 10 minutes all the up to approx. 5 hours. I have read that some intel cards/drivers have issues with windows 10 that they say should solve the issue but never do. When the card freezes i'm always in chrome (doubt its the problem because it does it before I open chrome and that's about all i use my computer for besides for college) and chrome (whole computer) seems to start to freeze and get gittery until chrome will stop responding and shortly after my wifi goes to limited saying i'm connected to my network but limited even though it lost all other networks including my secondary network (I have a 2.4G and a 5G) and I can't do anything other than reboot to fix it and sometimes i find it disabled in network and sharing center even though the hardware switch was never activated and airplane mode was never activated.
Solutions I tried:
Full reset of PC (problem persists)
Downgrading drivers (problem persists/windows seems to find a newer driver even though I don't want it to and have uninstalled in My devices then installing the old driver)[Someone link me to a working old driver???]
Reset network logs/cache in command promt
I was using Symantec Endpoint Protection but never installed it again since the reset and problem still persists
I could use any and all suggestions and if you need any more descriptions my problem sounds identical to this one but none of the solutions worked for me Wifi Network Adaptor disappearing - HW or SW? How to fix?
