Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4A driver compatibility issues with Windows 10

Question

My system is having issues with the wireless connections being dropped frequently. On further investigation by using the troubleshooter(Network Diagnostics) it seems there is a driver conflict and looks like this is a common issue. This issue is really annoying and I couldn't find a stable driver nor could I disable the windows update feature and use my last know stable version of the driver either 12.0.0.309 or 12.0.0.448. 

My system is currently running Windows 10 Pro Build 1809

I tried running the following versions of the driver but none of these are stable.

12.0.0.309 12.0.0.448

12.0.0.697

12.0.0.722 (Latest version)

HI!

The driver couldn't be run under compatibility mode as it did not have the option to select the Windows 10 OS. Do note the driver downloaded is for the Windows 10 OS 64 bit. 

After repairing the driver, I noticed that the Wifi connection became unresponsive again and when I ran the troubleshooter it didn't provide any valuable suggestion. Following this when I performed the system restart I noticed the Adapter was disabled. Please adivse.
