Hello there, I recently purchased a new PC, I had an old pc which had a wireless USB adapter and I took it and used it on the new one, never encountered any problems with it and the old PC before but this new pc gave me a headache.
In the beginning it wouldn't even want to connect and says "Unable to connect to this network" and other times it connects but says that there's "Internet access" but the browser can't show any websites and says that there's no Internet access.
The day after I somehow managed to fix this by removing all th accessories from the front case to the back of the case and leaving the adapter alone and it connected but with low speed, and after some more retries and reboots it worked fine with normal speed but It sometimes can drop a little.
However when I launch a game from Steam for example CSGO shows "Connecting to CSGO servers..." which means it can't access the Internet and when I tab out of it i can see that infact there's no Internet access although my PC is connected to the router.
After updating all the drivers including the wireless adapter's drivers, I launched the game from GeForce Experience and everthing surprisengly went fine, no wifi coutouts nothing, I even tried to launch it from Steam and it worked this time.
But after that it got back to the same problem again, even launching Steam in Offline mode doesn't help it, the wifi will cut off by launching a game from Steam in onilne or offline mode.
Im wondering if the problem is from Windows 10, Network Adapter or Steam, I really need help because it's annoying that I spent 750$ on a rig that can't connect to wifi while playing games.
*Update I dicovered that if you click "Optimize" and then launch the game from GeForce Experience the game connects fine without any issues, tried uninstalling GeForce Experience and launching the game directly from Steam but It's the same thing again the wifi disconnects when I launch it.
