The adapter will show as disabled after rebooting though. Going in to to Device Manager and attempting to disable the device will cause Device Manager to crash and I have to reboot.Unplugging the WiFi adapter, waiting a few seconds, and plugging it back in again does not always resolve the problem.Once I left the PC in this state for 1 hour just to see if anything would happen and it still did not reboot. It will just be stuck on the "Rebooting" screen. Sometimes loss of Internet connectivity will prevent the PC from rebooting normally.When this happens, I can enable Airplane Mode, but cannot disable it without rebooting.Other applications (e.g: Edge, Steam, Spotify) do not. When this happens, Google Chrome will crash.This may appear as a "limited" connection and clicking the WiFi icon in the task bar will show Windows attempting to reconnect to the network Randomly dropping the WiFi connection (other devices like my phone do not exhibit loss of connectivity).I get the following problems intermittently and can't seem to replicate them on demand: In March I built a new PC, and on this new rig this adapter appears to be causing some very strange behaviour in Windows 10. On my previous PC (also Windows 10) this adapter worked very well. Last year I bought a USB WiFi adapter: a BrosTrend AC1200 (RealTek 8812AU). This is a bit of a long story as I've tried quite a lot of things to try and resolve the problems I am having.
