Ana,
1. Have you tried forgetting your current WiFi connection and then reestablishing the connection?
2. Is fast startup enabled? My guess is that you've disabled it but, if not, I highly recommend trying it.
I was curious about this and found two articles with suggestions on how to remedy this. I don't know about running Restoro to repair corrupt files but running dism and sfc certainly would not hurt.

And here's the article on running SFC and DISM which I'd feel safer doing than running a third party tool. This was written by Brian Vogel.
Fixing "Weird Issues" under Windows 8 or Windows 10 Using the System File Checker (SFC) and Deployment Imaging Servicing and Management (DISM) If you are having "weird problems" with any Windows system, the first thing you should do is to run the System File Checker (SFC). Open a Command Prompt window using the "Run as Administrator" option. The easiest way to do this is to hit the Windows Key, immediately enter the text "Command Prompt" and getting the Command Prompt desktop app returned as the first item. Gain focus on it and bring up the context menu either via right click or hitting the menu/applications key [if your machine has one] or Shift+F10 if it does not then selecting "Run as administrator" from the context menu that appears. Once that elevated command prompt window is opened, enter:
SFC /scannow
When it's finished look at its output to see if it found any corrupt files and whether it was able to fix them.
If SFC reports that it was unable to fix something, on Windows 8 and Windows 10 systems it's also worth running the following command, also in a Command Prompt window that's been opened with "Run as Adminstrator":
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth DISM should be able to fix errors that SFC may not be able to fix. If you wish to be really thorough, after running DISM, and presuming it reports that all has been fixed, shutdown and restart your machine and run SFC one final time. The SFC result should be clean.

Subject: [VICUG-L] Not Connecting to the Web Automatically
Hi All,
Like most people on this list, I have my desktop computer set to log into my home wi-fi automatically, and up until recently, this has worked just fine.
As of a couple of months ago, however, I sometimes find that the computer doesn't connect to wi-fi. I need to go into the system tray, hit the context key on the network (which has high signal strength but to which the computer is not connected), disconnect, then check the Connect Automatically option again. I'd say this happens about one out of every three times I power up. Btw, I turn my system off at night, a practice I've always followed.
Now, I have a laptop, which isn't set to connect automatically because I sometimes take it to work, where I have to manually connect, and I notice that I often have the wi-fi connection issue on my home computer after using the laptop. Initially, my thinking was that the two were related because I'm using the same Microsoft account, which seems to save some settings. I still think that, so I'm not surprised when I have the wi-fi issue on the home computer after I've used the laptop.
But lately, I've been experiencing the wi-fi issue at home even in weeks when I haven't used the laptop.
Does anyone have any thoughts about what could be going on? Connecting again is not a big deal, so the problem is more annoying than anything else.
Ciao
