My Wifi Stops Working After Around 10 Seconds

Hi, in a previous forum post, I've stated the same thing. I've tried to install updated drivers, but that did not work. But recently, a strange thing happened.

Last weekend, I found out that ending the Xbox Game Bar through Task Manager would fix the problem, however I tried the same thing again, but I got no results. Any help would be greatly appreciated. (When the bar goes all the way down, that is when my internet cuts out, lasting a second or two)

OK, for reference you have this HP Notebook - 15-ac143wm, which is just over 5 years old. From what I can tell, your wireless device is a 802.11 b/g/n adapter but I cannot confirm what wireless card you have. Please can you do this:

Right click on the Start button and left click on Device Manager.
Find the Network Adapter and then double click on your wireless device and then go to the Hardware tab, then choose the Hardware ID and notate the VEN and DEV numbers here.

I have a feeling though because of the age, the wireless device may becoming faulty. If the case the wireless needs to be replaced, you could replace the internal card, but a USB one would be more cheaper and easier.
