I've been using my Windows laptop for about four months now, and recently it's been experiencing frequent WiFi dropouts. I've tried a network reset, troubleshooting, adjusting the power settings in Device Manager, and even uninstalling and reinstalling the network driver, but the issue persists. It's becoming really frustrating! What steps can I take to resolve this problem?

You might want to check the Event Viewer when the WiFi drops. It logs events that can give you clues about why the disconnections are happening. That could help narrow down the issue a bit!
If you're not sure whether it's a hardware or software problem, consider creating a Bootable USB Flash Drive with a Linux Live Session. Booting into Linux can help you check: if the WiFi drops there too, it's likely your Wireless Network Adapter is failing. But if it works fine in Linux, then you might have a driver or OS issue.
Got it! But how do I actually create that Bootable USB?
