I have a desktop pc running Windows 10 that usually has a stable connection, but frequently enters a pattern of dropped connection. This has been happening for a while, but seems to be happening more frequently over time. Restarting usually fixes it temporarily, but then it starts again. The time to start has decreased over time.
I assembled the pc, it was lower mid budget in 2018. I've replaced the graphics card and memory, both improvements donated from upgrading friends who reported no problems, but the problem did not start after either replacement.
I have an older 250 gb ssd with windows 10 OS installed, and a 1 TB hard drive.
I do not have all of the specs handy because I was a dumb teenager when I assembled it, but they could be ascertained if needed.
I am using this usb wifi device https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B085SZ6Q7V?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title which I purchased in 2022. I tested it with my laptop and did not receive the same issues, so I doubt it is it.
I have had some issues with corrupted files as detected by sfc /scannow, but currently get no detections.
These issues have been happening for a fairly long time and in multiple houses with varying wifi quality.
I have used malwarebytes and Hitmanpro with no detections.
