Computer Disconnects From Internet randomly

Hey, my PC keeps randomly disconnecting from the internet. Every 10 or so minutes I have to go to the Wi-Fi settings, disconnect it and reconnect to get my internet back. This is infuriating and I've been looking for a solution for about a month to no avail. This needs to be fixed as it online PC gaming unplayable. I can't stream either since the stream cuts out. This is definitely NOT an internet issue since it ONLY happens to the PC, no other devices. All answers blaming it on my internet will be ignored.

I used to have another PC and it didn't have this issue strangely. But literally as soon as I opened up my new PC, this issue started.

I've  done a lot of searching and pretty much tried every single option under the sun which includes:

Turning off 'allow the computer to turn off this device to save power' on my network adapter

Turning off IPV6 addresses

Restarting the PC

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Performance and system failures

    Roadhog360 no problem, here is the answer of the thread with the translation:

    Step 1. Third-party antivirus

    Do you use antivirus? There are some antivirus, such as Avast, Bitdefender, Eset Nod32, and perhaps others, which generate this problem in the Internet connection. If so, uninstall it and restart the system. If the Internet connection works well when restarting, and there are no errors, reinstall your antivirus and check again. If the connection error appears again, look for another antivirus.

    Step 2. Run the network connection troubleshooter

    If the antivirus was not the cause of the problem, follow these steps:

    1. In the search bar write solution and click on the search result Troubleshooting (Control Panel)
    2. In the column on the left click on See all
    3. Click on Internet Connections
    4. In the Internet Connections box, click Advanced Options and Run as administrator
    5. Click Next and follow the instructions on the screen to complete the problem resolution process.

    Step 3. Reset the network configuration

    If the network connection solver did not solve the problem, follow these steps:

    1. Press the Windows + X keys and select Command Prompt (Administrator)
    2. In the console type the following commands and press Enter after each of them:

    netsh winsock reset

    netsh int ip reset

    ipconfig / release

    ipconfig / renew

    ipconfig / flushdns

    ipconfig / registerdns

    1. Close the CMD console and restart the system.
    2. When restarting, check the Internet connection and if the problem has been solved

    Step 4. Check network services.

    Check the following network services from the service console. All these services must be enabled and running:

    1. Press the Windows + R keys
    2. In the Open box type services.msc and press Enter:
    3. In the local services console, look for the following services:
    • Windows Connection Manager (Wcmsvc)
    • NetBIOS auxiliary application over TCP / IP (Imhosts)
    • DHCP Client (Dhcp)
    • DNS Client (Dscache)
    • Automatic configuration of wired networks (dot3svc)
    • Automatic WLAN configuration (WlanSvc)
    • SSDP detection (SSDPSRV)
    • UPnP host device (upnphost)
    • Publication of function detection resource (FDResPub)

    Although in some network installations it is not necessary for all of them to be configured in automatic startup, to ensure that no service fails, enable them in Automatic startup and start the service. To do this, right click on each one of them and choose Properties. In Startup type, choose Automatic and in Service status, click Start if it is stopped.

    1. To ensure correct operation, reboot the system and see if the services are kept automatic and initiated.
    2. Check the Internet connection and if the problem has been solved

    Inform me of your progress please.
