Wireless disconnects when the laptop lid is closed
Unfortunately, when I close the laptop lid, the wireless internet connection disconnects.
I tried the following:
I made sure to go to the Realtek Wireless Network Adaptor in Device Manager and unchecked the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".
I also went to the Power Options and set it so it does Nothing when the lid is closed.
In Advanced Power Settings, I changed the Wireless Adaptor Settings' Power Saving Mode to Maximum Performance.
I updated the drivers also, still, the issue persists
also, it takes too much time to wake up from sleep. 1 min and doesn't wake up automatically using fingerprint have to click keyboard and after clicking screen comes up after 20-30secs

Well, you were going the right path but problem did not go away. Please use re-install Windows 10 using the following source
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
to create ISO file then mount ISO file as DVD drive and run Setup from there.
Remember to tick the box to keep user files/programs (this is default but remember to check).
Regards.
