My desktop got a windows update about 2 weeks ago, and ever since then I've been having issues with my wireless driver. (Realtek 8821AE Wireless LAN 802.11ac PCI-E NIC)

Oddly enough I have no problems with online gaming, but sometimes when I am surfing or on youtube I lose signal for about 10-15 seconds despite the icon showing a full signal. Most recently ( Starting last night) when I start my computer the driver shows up as disabled even though it is actually enabled, and I have to physically select disable, and then enable in the driver manager to get it to start properly.

I make sure that it is up to date every day, and since the windows update, there have been no new updates to the driver. I'm at a loss on what to do at this point. Can you guys offer some input?

I would check with your PC/Laptop manufacturer's website and download and install the latest driver for your wireless card (or chipset if embedded) - make sue it's for your exact wireless model!
If that's not possible then try downloading directly from the manufacturer of the wireless card/chipset.
