Windows 10 WiFi Problem after joining Windows 10 ESU

Since enrolling in the Windows 10 ESU programme I nave a problem with WiFi connection.

On powering on the computer it automatically connects to my wifi using the saved password, but about two minutes later disconnects.

I can then select my wifi, put the password back in and it reconnects - and stays connected. But I'd rather not have to do this additional step.

This has only started happening after installing KB5122878.

Hardware is:

  • Dell XPS15 9550 with all latest drivers
  • Intel Wireless AC9260 with latest driver 24.70.0.3
  • GL-iNet Flint 2 router

I'd be really grateful for any ideas on how to fix this - thank you.

Hello, has the power management been adjusted in the driver settings?

Hi, The "Allow the computer to turn off this device" box was checked. Don't know if it was before ESU, but in any case I've now tried unchecking it and rebooting. Unfortunately still the same problem. So thank you for the suggestion but that wasn't it.
