So, I would suggest you to keep checking your Windows updates not only important one but optional too. If any available try to install them and see if it helps you to fix the issue.
First try to install all of the Windows updates available and if issue persists, try to update the Network Adapter drivers by following the steps provided in the article mentioned below.
