As a first step, read this article and then Download the Windows Firewall Troubleshooter from Microsoft.https://www.windowscentral.com/how-t...ewall-problems

Cheers Omah, but even with the firewall turned off the problem still exists......
A quick use of the 'Troubleshooter' reveals that the adapter is to blame (whatever that is) and fixes the problem....For a while anyway.
It looks like Bruce's suggestion is looking more like a solution...

There has been a development.....
It appears that when the power cable is attached there are no problems at all concerning my wifi connection....
Looks like somewhere in the bowels of windows 10 it's trying to conserve battery power by keeping normal operations short....

It's not something I have really bothered about as I almost always use it plugged in.

Some of the default settings that either Windows or the manufacturer set seem a bit odd to me. For example the power button is often set to 'Sleep' rather than 'Turn off Computer' and is one of the first things I check on a new computer. I would be a modestly rich man if I had $10 from each of the people who have come to me saying their new laptop battery is always flat.
It is invariably because they put their computer to sleep rather than turning it off. Closing the 'lid' is usually set to send the laptop to sleep which I think is sensible so why is the power button set the same way?

As an aside my original Lenovo laptop (T420s) has a physical switch on the side of the case that switches the wifi off. You can do it electronically but having the switch is really handy for setting up modems using a cable for example.My new laptop doesn't have this feature and, while it isn't the end of the world, it was very handy.
