A couple of days ago, my network manager started misbehaving after a system update. The computer has trouble connecting to every network it can find and when it finally connects, the connection becomes limited after 10 minutes. It happens to all networks I try to connect to and other devices in my home doesn't have trouble with my specific network.
I suspect that it's Windows that's the problem. The userface for connecting to networks (the manager, bar, whatever you call it) freezes constantly, it doesn't always react whenever I click buttons and it doesn't remember settings, like which networks I automatically connect to. Edit: It also has a habit of going "No networks found" despite the fact it could find networks seconds ago. Whenever I try to turn it off and then on for it to find networks, it doesn't work. It simple refuses to turn the wi-fi off and I have no idea how else to do that.
I've already tried the following:
I use Windows 8.1, and I can access the internet with cable.

I've already tried the following:
- Updating my network card's driver (did that some days before the update, then reinstalled when this problem happened, no difference)
- Disabling and enabling the network card (works sometimes but the connection still dies after 10 minutes)
- Troubleshooting (no use, it freezes when it tries to resolve the problem)
