Frequent Network Connection Loss and Dropout

Hello everyone,

For the past couple weeks now, ever since I have updated to this version of windows 10: 

Version 10.0.17134 Build 17134,

I have been experiencing a network issue that completely has me baffled. At a random instance, my computer's network would freeze, and the Wi-Fi icon would change from connected to connected, no internet.  When I would try to go into my adapter settings to disable and enable the adapter to fix said issue, file explorer would not open the proper location where I could do so. I have searched online for the past couple hours, and this is what I have done in an attempt to resolve the issue:

  • Reset WiFi Network Settings and it's defaults (Unfortunately, only worked for a day).
  • Changed power management settings (I soon figured out that this was NOT the issue; my computer's power management is working just fine)
  • Changed the Network Profile to which I am connected to from public to private.
  • Searched for any updates that would require my network driver to be upgraded [None that I have seen]
  • Checked for any normal windows updates [None].
  • Ran multiple diagnosis' on different levels of the situation (Ran adapter issues, network issues, i.e.)
  • Checked the device for improper function ["This device is working properly"]
  • Checked my anti-virus for any firewalls that could intentionally mess with my network and it's settings
  • Checked for any viruses on the computer

As a rising computer enthusiast, I am quite unsure of what to do next. It would be much of a help if anyone could shed some light on this circumstance, or if anyone shares the same predicament I am currently in. 

For anyone who requests this, this is the computer specs:

Model: HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC x64-based

Processor :Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4510U CPU @ 2.00GHz, 2601 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)

Factory OS: Windows 8.1, updated to Windows 10 Home

Network Adapter: Realtek RTL8188EE 802.11 bgn Wi-Fi Adapter

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Internet and connectivity

    Oh I thought I was the only one having this issue recently minus the freezing, never happen to me.

    I troubleshoot all the same like you and no avail

    Until I found the culprit which is the Location Service

    If I turn that on, connection goes wild and keep disconnecting

    I turn that off and everything is fine

    Maybe you can try turn that off and hopefully fix like mine

    Hi ADarkShadow

    I am Vijay, an Independent Advisor. I am here to work with you on this problem.

    Looks like you have already tried most of the things. Try following one by one. Skip a step which you have already tried.

    A. Run Internet Connections / Network Troubleshooters

    Windows Key+i > Update & Security > Troubleshoot >

    1. Click Internet Connections > Run the Troubleshooter
    2. Click Network Adapter > Run the Troubleshooter

    B. Head to following Microsoft Help Link and execute the steps there

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/10741/...

    C. As a last resort if nothing works - I would recommend that you perform a Windows 10 repair upgrade. Repair upgrade fixes all Windows errors and retains all files, applications and settings. (You will not lose any data while backup is a good idea) Below is a good guide to perform repair upgrade
