It shows in the taskbar that it's not connected but it shows connected in the network settings. I can't access the internet

I would try going into the network control panel, select manage wireless networks and delete the network. Then reboot and reacquire it and reenter the security key.

It didn't work. I also tried connecting to other network but it still shows not connected (sometimes "identifying internet access") on the taskbar but shows connected in the network options.

What is the model of your computer and wireless adapter? Is Windows 10 an upgrade or the original OS on the computer?

The mobo is g41d3c and the adapter is Realtek RTL8187B Wireless 802.11b/g 54Mbps USB 2.0 Network Adapter. I'm not sure about the OS.

It works perfectly fine 2 days ago but since I'm having a problem because my PS/2 Mouse can't be detected, I used the automatic repair and made it work and since then I wasn't able to access the internet anymore

Yup, Windows 10 can be problematic with older wireless devices and the drivers often break with updates.

The only other thing short of a drastic move like a reinstall that comes to mind is to delete the wireless adapter and then reinstall it.

When I delete the device i don't think it was fully uninstalled. When I checked the events tab of the device in the properties, it shows that when i deleted the device and restarted the pc, it shows device configured. Unlike in the beginning it has a "device install request.

Before:
Device install requested
Device configured
Device started
Device installed

Now:
Device deleted
Device configured
Device started
I don't know if I'm doing the right thing

Did that make a difference?

You might try to install the wireless adapter driver in compatibility mode, right click on driver installer and select whatever OS the driver was actually for as the compatibility type.

Where can I find the driver installer? When I uninstall it then restart the pc it just automatically install

Download it from the USB adapter support homepage. Find the latest available and if it is Windows 8 it may work, occasionally a Windows 7 driver will work, but anything older has a slim chance. You can go to the device manager and select to update the driver and then manually select your downloaded driver.

In the end you may find it easier to buy a new USB adapter that has Windows 10 support, many of the older USB wireless adapters will not work with Windows 10. And that adapter that you have is very old as it does not even include N wireless.
