Hya, for some reason, my laptop keeps losing the internet, it re connects eventually but i have no idea why it loses it in the first place, my wifes laptop and both of our phones are ok and have no problems once connected. When i run the trouble shooter it often comes back saying there is a problem with the network. Any ideas please

Untick your post above as people will not look at the thread thinking it has been fixes
Search for and open the Device Manager. Expand the Network adapters. Right-click on the network adapter that you are currently using (Broadcom 802.11a Network Adapter – for example). Click on Update Driver Software… in the contextual menu.
Click on Search automatically for updated driver software and allow Windows to search for and download any available software updates for your network adapter’s drivers.
If that doesn't work because windows says you have the latest drivers then uninstall the driver and restart the Machine (start -power -restart) Windows wil reload the drivers when it restarts.

it seems after doing some investigating that my problem is also an issue with loads of other people and is in fact down to a windows 10 update. There has been a rather large update today which took quite a while and on completion the fault i was suffering seems to have been fixed. Cheers for your help fruit bat and continue doing what you do for others,
regards
