My Wifi disables when Ethernet cable is connected. I tried all of these but none worked:
Check BIOS - LAN/WLAN switching is disabled
Removed:
- All HP programs from Add Remove programs
- All Intel Wifi related programs from Add Remove programs
- Removed Wifi AC 8260 Intel driver and allowed older Microsoft drive
Stop these services:
- HP LanWlanWwanSwitchingServiceUWP
- LanWlanWwanSwitchingServiceUWP

My solution paraphrased from:
Delete / Rename Network Connections In Windows 8 [10]
Remove the connections in Windows 8 [10] using the registry editor.
1- To open the registry editor press the Windows + R keys to open the Run dialog, type regedit, and press Enter. If prompted by UAC, then click on Yes.
2- Go to this folder: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles.
3- The Profiles folder will provide a list of all the network locations (past or recent) that you have used. Each network location is represented by a subfolder.
4- Delete all the connections simply delete all of the sub-folders within the Profiles folder.
