I know software updates are important to improve your computer experience and patch security holes, but in the last Patch Tuesday, which Microsoft released on Aug. 12th, that also included the August update (Update 2), its hurting Surface Pro 3 more than it’s helping. Since I updated Surface Pro 3 to the latest August firmware update, I have been having a bunch of Wi-Fi issues.
For example, almost every time I wake the tablet, I see that it’s not connected to my wireless network; upon login, I am sometimes lucky enough to see that it reconnects automatically. Other times I have to restart Windows in order to reconnect.
But today I am seeing something totally new, after waking my Surface, I am noticing that the wireless adapter got disabled on its own. Going to Control Panel and navigating to Network Connections, I tried to re-enable the adapter, but it didn’t work.
So if you’re experiencing the same issue, there is an easy workaround to this problem, just follow the steps below:
