Its because you have a 3rd party wireless tool installed, which everytime you turn your PC on is taking control over windows managing you wireless connection.
Go to
Start Menu > Run
type in services.msc and hit enter
Now scroll down in this list to one called "Windows Zero Configuration" and make sure that that service is set to automatic, not manual or disabled.
Also, if you feel confident, look at
Start Menu > Run
type in msconfig and press enter
Now look at the startup tab where this loads programs everytime you start your computer, one item in list list will be your cause, e.g. Intel Wireless or NETGEAR. Uncheck this box, restart and you shouldnt have the issue with it conflicting
Hope this helps.0
