Question My PC looses ability to connect to wifi every night. Bad network adapter?

[kenmtb]

Hi-
At some point during late night my pc looses the ability to connect to wifi.
The wifi is visible but attempting to connect results in message cannot connect.
To get internet back I have to uninstall the network adapter then restart.
My laptop and phone have no internet issues. I am guessing the network card (adapter) may be bad.

Questions:
Is there a way to confirm this before I buy another one?
If so what would be a good replacement?
Thanks!
Ken

honestly I had a similar problem, with the wifi cutting out and then just not being able to connect randomly, and I tried everything with the settings and I think the network adapter just isnt that good for wifi so I just used ethernet but if i couldnt do ethernet I would just try to get another adapter

Sorry for the late reply. It seems that my connection drops after my pc goes to sleep. Searching the web shows that it may be due to the latest windows 10 update. I have build 18363.1139.

Ill wait and hope the next build cures the issue.
