WiFi problems after latest update (Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260)

[Charles1]

After the latest update my WiFi disappeared and i couldn't connect to the internet. The WiFi was gone from Settings/Network&Internet. So I went into "Advanced Network Settings" and "Change Adapter Options" to find that the WiFi was still checked as "Enabled". I then disabled it and enabled it again and it started working. Now the problem is that I have to do this everytime I start the computer ever since that update.

Is there something I can do to not having to go through all these steps as I turn on the computer?

I remember the Dial Up ages so this is a minor inconvenience but still it shouldn't be like this.

Thanks for the help!

Hi Deivid

The latest update seemed to have fixed the problem somehow. However it can still occur after I've put the computer in sleep mode.

Its a laptop, ASUS GL502VMK with Windows 10. 

Everything is up to date on the computer and this problem occurred after an update from Intel.

Now its just a minor issue but it can be a bit annoying sometimes. I hope future updates will solve it completely. 

Thanks for your time

Regards
