I think I have it finally figured out! Go to start, click on TP-Link, uninstall the configuration utility. I did that and it has been working perfectly since! You don't need the utility. I rebooted...

Ok, just to keep you informed. I heard back from someone in the company and they told me to go into device manager, right click the adapter and uncheck where it says let computer turn it off to save...

Fancy meeting you here! Lol
