My new Laptop is having networking issues, the Intel Dual Band AC-8260 always says: "It had trouble starting up" or such. I have to use device manager and disable it and then re-enable it just to have it work for around one minute, two tops. It started happening after I got on a different microsoft account/user on windows 10 to install my already purchased version of office 365, help?

Yeah, probably a good idea to take it back then, for replacement or repair.

I guess, I find it hard to tell when it fails after installing office 360, that's pretty arbitrary; The place you bought it from might be able to tell what exactly went wrong.

 

At least it happened early, when you're able to return it.
