I'm a student who uses the laptop all the time and I have a problem with Wifi on the laptop. I don't really know what it is. I can describe the problem tho. For example, i closed my laptop last night, so it goes in suspend mode. I turn it on this morning and my wifi doesn't want to connect until I restart the laptop. It says that it's connecting and in Wifi settings the circle animation is spinning, turning Wifi off and on doesn't do anything. Here's what happens when I check to see my network info:

sudo lshw -C network
  *-network

Also I have to mention that my Linux is doublebooted alongside Windows 10, but I don't think that makes any difference. Help would be much appreciated, I wouldn't want to miss my classes because of this hahah Thanks!

Disable Windows Fast Startup feature.

Windows 10 doesn't shut down properly but hibernates.

This may cause some trouble with wireless devices if you boot to Ubuntu and also NTFS partitions are mounted read-only.
