Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 Adapters stops working

Hey!

As stated in the subject, I have Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 which I bought with my recently new PC roughly 4 months ago, at first I had no issues with my WiFi, no disconnects, always found the network, but as of late I have been getting increasingly more connective issues where I would randomly lose connection, and after running the "Troubleshoot Problem" I would get an issue:
"The Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 adapter is experiencing driver- or hardware-related problems".

A quick look in the Device Manager, I would sometimes see that it would not recognize it connected to the PC, some times a quick reboot would give me a very short temporarily fix, but nevertheless the problem still persists. Doing a little more digging in the Adapter's properties -> Events tab brings up this:

Device PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_095A&SUBSYS_50108086&REV_59\5414F3FFFF125D4F00 was configured.

Which is always followed up by this:

I have looked the issue up and could not find a fix to it, did whatever I could to try to solve it, BIOS update, driver update, uninstalling and reinstalling, checking the wires themselves in the PC for maybe any loose cables but nothing seems to fix it.

 

Something I did notice is that it seems to mostly happen only when I play World of Warcraft, but other than that, browsing the web, talking with friends, just keeping the PC turned on would not cause it to disconnect.

As for some information about my PC:

OS: Windows 10 22H2 (10.0.19045)
Motherboard: Gigabyte B550M S2H
BIOS: F16e (6/1/23)
Network: Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265
