So it's a bit of a weird one.
Every time I right click on an icon or try to open file explorer, my wifi disconnects.
For example, if I try to right click on a desktop icon, my internet connection will die for 10-15 seconds.

I have tried:
- Creating and testing on a new account (persists)
- Re-installing drivers, updating drives
- Disabling/uninstalling applications that interact with my network
- Restarting a few times
- Disabling ipv6
- Switching networks
- Changing power management settings with the network device
- Changing sharing settings
- Checking event log for any information- but nothing is being logged during this time
- Trying to restart and test wifi in safe mode, but wifi itself doesn't work in safe mode... go figure!
- Monitoring the network usage in PerfMon but nothing really stands out as interesting... maybe I should grab a packet analysis tool to try to see what is being sent at this time.
