“restore to an earlier time when you bought it. Then stop the updates. period”.
This kneejerk response is typical of the uninformed. The issue is you very often get what you pay for. Tech changes happen at a breakneck pace. Tech is obsoleted rather quickly.
If you purchase an old system without a built-in wifi adapter (how old is a system that was built without a wifi adapter?) and then purchase an old tech single-band wifi adapter you are just asking for trouble.
The problem isn’t Win10, it is a non-tech savvy buyer who is being a cheapskate to his own detriment.
I have owned PC’S since the early 90’s (in those days I built my own) and have not once, ever, had a problem with any Windows update.

You cannot stop Windows Updates on a Windows 10 Home PC, and may not be able to stop them on Win10 Pro, anymore. Saw something to that effect recently. Cheapest and easiest thing to do is update the driver for the WiFi adapter. That may fix it. You could also try changing the Wifi channels the modem and adapter use, or move your computer closer to the Modem. Poor signal strength can be the cause of Wifi problems, as can too many WiFi signals on the same channel you’re using. If not, try a different WiFi adapter. Preferably a different manufacturer if you go with the new adapter. And good luck!
How??
I’ve disabled the updates every which way but loose...and they STILL install of their own volition.
