It was working pretty good for a while but now it intermittently will disconnect from the internet. Not as frequent but still need to restart the computer to reconnect even though the computer shows I have wi Fi connected.

Buy a usb WiFi dongle and give that a try instead. Disable the one you use right now, using device manager

Or try using a mobile as a remote hotspot, see if it disconnects ....

I'm on a works hp laptop.

Each morning, it is disconnected from the internet, and can only be restarted with a "hard restart" (press power button then a few seconds later, press power button again).

Quite a few of our laptops are having this problem.

Our IT dept reckon Windows rolled an update out a couple of weeks ago which, even after installing, sticks itself into a reinstall loop and kills the system in a variety of different ways (very sluggish performance, fan running at full chat, disconnecting internet, and more).

They say I have to leave my laptop with them, for them to effect a fix.

I don't have huge faith that they really know the root cause, and how to solve it properly; more a case of chuck a few fiddles at it, and hope one solves the symptoms. For a while, anyway.

I'll post back, if they find anything that tallies with any issues/solutions more widely reported.
