Windows 10 consists of a wifi adaptor with power-saving functions. These functions are designed to use WiFi adaptors more efficiently. Also, to save power and decrease your WiFi bandwidth usage. However, some Windows 10 users are experiencing issues of “Wifi is Disconnecting randomly” after upgrading to Windows 10. This issue could be caused by an outdated or incompatible WiFi driver on your computer, or it could be caused by Windows shutting off network drivers. If you’re having trouble with this, try these solutions.
Don’t Worry! In this blog, we have discussed the solution to solve the issue of Windows 10 internet disconnects randomly. Let’s start with the easiest to advance methods.
1. Resetting your Network Settings
The first thing we are going to do is completely reset our Network Settings to remove any corrupted DNS Cache. If you enter these commands, the router will assign you a new IP address and reset your Network Settings.
Follow these steps to reset your Network Settings properly:
- Hold the Windows Key and Press X. Choose Command Prompt (Admin) or PowerShell (Admin).
- To reset your network settings, type the 5 following commands one by one.
1. netsh Winsock reset
2. netsh int IP reset
3. ipconfig /release
4. ipconfig /renew
5. ipconfig /flushdns - Check to see if the issue persists after restarting your computer. Follow the methods below if it persists.
2. Creating a private Network Profile
Follow the below steps to set up your private network profile.
- Click the Wi-Fi network icon in the right corner of the taskbar.
- Click on “Properties”.
- Under Network Profiles, choose “Private”
Try restarting your computer again to see if the problem still persists. In addition, check whether your wireless keeps disconnecting as well.
3. Disabling power-saving features on the adapter
The power-saving features set by Windows can also be found in peripherals and network adapters. If you are on a laptop, this is an easy way to conserve power. While these features are useful to have, they can sometimes cause you to lose connection to the Internet and cause WiFi problems.
Follow these steps to disable power-saving features on the adaptor:
- Choose “Device Manager” from the menu on the Start button.
- Right-click on your network adaptor in the “Network Adaptors” section.
- Navigate to the “Power Management” tab by clicking “Properties”.
- Don’t check “Let the computer turn this device off to save energy”.
- Restart your computer.
4. Using the “Automatic” setting for WLAN Services
The Wifi adaptor is configured and connected by a service in Windows that monitors the router settings. When the DHCP service is activated, a DHCP update is performed automatically. Windows is unable to update its information if the service is disabled. However, blocking this service in some tweaking tools might really mess things up, as most of those apps assume you have Ethernet. Using commands, we have created an easy way to resolve this problem.
Follow These Steps:-
- Choose Command Prompt (Admin) or PowerShell (Admin) by pressing the Windows key and X.
- To enable these services again, type the following commands one by one;
1. sc config Wlansvc start= demand
2. sc config Dhcp start= auto
3. sc config netprofm start= demand after completing the steps, restart your computer. Also read: Avast Firewall not starting on Windows 10
