    Hello Rajat,

    Is there a specific Windows Update that you install when this happens?

    If so, what is it?

    For now, if it's a specific update, you could hide the Windows Update to prevent it from installing.

    Does the wireless adapter show up as disabled in the Device Manager?
    | type DEVMGMT.MSC | ENTER | expand Network Adapters

    Does the adapter in question show a yellow or red symbol on it?
