I have an issue where I shut my computer down or if it gets reset, almost all of the time when it turns back on my wireless network is missing. It's been happening quite frequently and I'm unsure how to fix it. Currently, restarting the computer a few times will make the wireless adapter come back on but that is a bit tedious. The comptuer's not hot so I don't think its a temperature issue but I don't know. Here's my specs from the system tab on my windows 10 laptop:

I am experiencing this issue even still, I just started playing on the laptop and it took me 7 tries to get the wifi adapter to register. When I checked device manager the adapter was missing entirely and there was no icon for missing drivers or other devices so I don't think it's a driver issue. It's a stock laptop and less than a year old so I don't THINK the wifi adapter on the laptop would be going out already.
