WINDOWS 10 is back to its old tricks again, with a recurrence of problems with WiFi connections dropping, something we’ve not seen since the early days.
Although Microsoft has released a new version of Windows 10 in the last few days (1607) it doesn’t seem to be that, because most of the complaints predate the code drop by two days.
KB3201845 was released on 9 December, but the problems started on 7 December and appear to be affecting some Windows 7 and 8.1 machines as well. There’s no pattern in terms of ISPs, routers, and WiFi cards - at the moment, at least, it’s all random.

This does stink. Hope there would be a fix soon. I can see this being a huge problem for people who use Windows online gaming, watching live streaming video, online courses, or working online like livestreaming on Twitch, YouTube, and other live video sites where a stable connection is very important.
According to a comment from a reader with the username x86 on TheInquirer.net, wired ethernet connections are also dropping for some Windows users.
