What did you mean by wifi adapter?
Did you mean the SSID or signal of the network?
wifi network password?
Or the wifi receiver?

You can try to refresh the signal list by pressing F5
When logging in to a network, make sure you tick the "connect automatically" checkbox to remember the password and connecting it automatically if network is available.

You can also try to reset your network adapter.
Open CMD/windows command prompt > right click on it and run as administrator > type netsh winsock reset.

Click to expand...

Press F5 to refresh your wifi connection list.
Or get yourself stand or sit near the wifi router. To get in network range and get the best signal possible.

Okay, now I know, It must be something with driver and windows OS.
Try to disable and re enable your WLAN controller in device manager.
Or uninstall the device, then refresh device manager.

Final, "not fun" yet effective way to fix this is reinstalling windows from scratch.
But try all solution above including resetting winsock before reinstalling your OS

It's your Atheros AR9485 controller.
